Wellington City Council's evaluation panel gave Beam dibs for its "Beam Booster" programme to support cafes, restaurants and shops in the capital. Photo / SuppliedHomegrown Flamingo and Singapore-owned Beam were the two successful contenders for Wellington City Council's new three-year licensing period. Each will get to put 400 e-scooters onto the streets of the capital (Beam will have an initial 150, ramping up to its full complement over the next few weeks). Singapore-owned Neuron, which operates in Auckland, joined Lime in missing the cut in Wellington. Both Beam and Flamingo promise Wellington fleets based on the latest Segway Ninebot Max, featuring hot-swappable batteries.
