Dresden. The first scooters are back in town. Tier Mobility set up about 150 in the city center on Wednesday. Georg Grams announces that there will be around 300 by the weekend. He is city manager of the company for Leipzig, Halle, Magdeburg and Dresden. In front of Corona, there were more than 400 animal scooters in Dresden.
More about the corona virus:
A month ago, the employees collected the electric scooters and brought them to the warehouse. You were no longer asked about Corona. Competitor Lime also collected his scooters at the time and temporarily parked them in a storage room.
Tier sees the new beginning as a test. “We coordinated this with the city and want to see how it is accepted,” says Georg Grams. “If the worst comes to the worst”, the scooters should be quickly collected again. But Grams hopes that the electric vehicles will now be used again and that more animal scooters will soon be available from the warehouse.

Competitor Lime is still waiting. The company’s green and white scooters disappeared from the streets in mid-March and can now be used again in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt am Main and Hamburg. “Preparations for the reactivation of the white-green e-scooter fleet are currently underway in Dresden,” said spokesman Florian Anders.
He cannot yet give an exact start time. It should be “soon”. On request, Anders specifies: “This week it won’t work anymore.” Whether it will be early or mid-May depends on many factors, including the weather. “We therefore hope for a dry and sunny May and the best conditions to be on the go with the e-scooter.” (SZ / csp)
