Tier rents over 90,000 street e-scooters in 95 cities and plans to add Dublin to the list this yearEurope’s biggest e-scooter rental operator has put together a new Safety Board for Ireland in advance of launching services here. Tier, which rents over 90,000 street e-scooters in 95 cities and plans to add Dublin to the list this year, says that it wants “to raise safety standards in the Irish e-scooter market”. The company, whose basic e-scooter rental charge is €1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute, has made its move after the Government said that it would legalise e-scooters this summer. Tier’s new Ireland safety board will include representatives from the Disability Federation of Ireland (DFI) and the National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI). The German-based company also says that it will be collaborating with Smart Dublin, Luna Systems and Insight DCU on the first e-scooter trial in Ireland at Dublin City University’s five campuses.
