Shared Cars, Bikes, and Other Vehicles

Several companies offer shared mobility services in Berkeley, including rentals of cars, bikes, scooters, and more.

Shared mobility services—such as bikes, electric scooters, and cars—offer a convenient way to get around Berkeley without having to own your own vehicle.

Shared electric bikes and scooters

Borrow an electric scooter or bicycle to take short trips on roads or bike lanes around Berkeley. Use the company’s app to find a scooter or bike near you, use it to get to your destination, and lock it at any public bike rack for the next user.

Two different companies meet the City’s terms and conditions for shared electric bikes, seated scooters or standing scooters. Download the app from the company’s website to borrow a scooter. Call or email to report improperly parked devices:
