If you want to rent an e-scooter, you certainly want the device to be charged.
- In order for this to be the case, e-scooters are often collected by their providers in the evening and fed with electricity overnight.
- Mini-jobbers are responsible for collecting and loading. Depending on the provider, these are called Juicer, Charger, Scooter Ranger or Hunter.
- With the provider Tier, the times in which you can Rent an e-scooter can from city to city. The e-scooter comes to a standstill and switches off automatically no later than 10 minutes after the end of the rental period. Here are the rental times for animal scooters in the individual cities:
