Brussels is putting the brakes on shared e-scooters.
After years of complaints over dangerous riding, pavement clutter and even links to organised crime, the Belgian capital has announced that rental e-scooters will disappear from its streets from January 2027 - joining a growing list of European cities turning away from the once-booming mode of transport.
The Brussels-Capital Region announced that the licences of the two remaining e-scooter operators in the city, Bolt and Dott, will expire at the end of this year.
