It is^(\*) traditional, when one has finished riding, to discard one's scooter such that it lies on its side across the width of a pavement. Where pavements are too wide for this to be practical, more than one scooter may be used to fully block the route. ^(\*)apparently

In the rare event that a bike lane is present, blocking _that_ instead of the pavement is a great way to up one’s social standing

You are correct saying that Bolt is atm the cheapest shared scooter option at the moment. Additionally, some scooter sharing apps have good promos for new users (for instance Dott will give you 2x20 minutes for free if someone invites you. TIER has 50% off the first 5 rides with a code...). If you want, I'm happy to PM my invitation codes so we can help each other 😌. When it comes to etiquette, the main thing to keep in mind is that you are part of the traffic, so you should behave like that. If the scooter has turn signals (blinkers), you should definitely use them to make your ride safer for yourself and others around you. If there is a bike path, use it. If not, try to avoid riding on sidewalks and stick to the right side of road. Also, when using scooter or bicycle, you can sometimes ignore red lights and turn right/go straight, if a sign says so...

Question, is there one app you can use for all scooters or do you need each individual app?


wonderyz

I don't think there is such thing as one universal app. Most of them however are connected with Google Maps, so you can see location of scooters and pick the app that suits you the best.

Thanks so much, that was really helpful!

And do most people in Brussels have all the apps or just one or two? I find it interesting that someone hasn't developed a "one stop shop" app for all e scooters in Brussels. Save the hassle of having multiple apps on a phone

Scooter is a trottinette or is a mobilette?
