Madrid bans app-based e-scooter rentals in October due to safety and regulation violations.

Madrid will ban e-scooter rentals via mobile apps due to safety issues, effective October. The city's licensed operators—Lime, Dott, and Tier Mobility—failed to manage user circulation and parking properly. The city council had set regulations in May 2023, allowing 2,000 scooters each, but the companies did not comply with data sharing and usage restrictions. No new licenses will be issued to other operators.
