Shared e-scooters are back for another season
May 29, 2025 - 4:06pm
Shared e-scooters are back for another season, providing Saskatoon residents and visitors with another way to get around the city.
The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce that Bird and Neuron have been selected as the successful vendors to provide shared e-scooter service in Saskatoon from spring through early fall for the next five years. City Council approved the use of shared e-scooters in Saskatoon following a successful pilot program which ran in 2023 and 2024.
Shared e-scooters are available to ride today. To ride an e-scooter, start by downloading the Bird or Neuron apps on the Apple Store or on Google Play.
E-scooter users must follow Provincial regulations: e-scooters cannot be operated at a speed greater than 24 km/hr, minimum rider age of 16 years or older and riders are required to wear helmets.
Shared e-scooters must operate within the approved service area (found on the vendors app) on shared-use paths, pathways, cycle tracks, protected bike lanes and – where no such paths are available – may ride on streets with posted speed limits of 50 km/hr or lower. E-scooters are not permitted to ride on sidewalks.
Please ride responsibly to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all road and pathway users.
