Wave scooters could be in Dunedin soon. Wave scooters are set to join Lime on Auckland streets this morning, and the founder of the Australian start-up is confident its black scooters will be on Dunedin streets within two months. Founder and managing director Albert Hoeft said his Brisbane-registered company planned to introduce the scooters in all ''main metropolitan areas'' in the country. Mr Hoeft said he had not yet visited Dunedin, nor spoken with the Dunedin City Council, but had a link to the city through his cousin, former All Blacks and Highlanders prop Carl Hoeft. Dunedin City Council community services general manager Simon Pickford confirmed the company had not contacted the council about launching its e-scooters in Dunedin.
