Shared Bikes and Scooters
Several companies offer shared mobility services in Berkeley, including rentals of bikes, scooters, and more.
Shared mobility services—such as bikes and electric scooters—offer a convenient way to get around Berkeley without having to own your own vehicle.
Shared electric scooters
Borrow an electric scooter to take short trips on roads or bike lanes around Berkeley. Use the company’s app to find a scooter near you, use it to get to your destination, and lock it at any public bike rack for the next user.
Veo and Lime offer e-scooters in Berkeley, including accessible options available via delivery and on demand. Download the app from the company’s website to borrow a scooter or request an accessible device. Low-income households can apply for discounted rides with Veo and Lime.
To report improperly parked devices, call (510) 981-7056 or email the company (cc'ing sharedmobility@berkeleyca.gov):
In the email, individuals should share the scooter identification number (located on the handlebar), its location, and a photo clearly showing how it is improperly parked.
Docked bike-share
Borrow a bike or e-bike from Bay Wheels, a bike-sharing network with stations around Berkeley and the Bay Area. Use the company's app or your Clipper card to unlock a bike and return it at any Bay Wheels docking station. Bay Wheels offers discounted memberships for those who qualify for CalFresh, SFMTA Lifeline, or PG&E CARE.
Docked bike-share in Berkeley is supported by funding from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD).
