Wave e-scooters. After five months enjoying Auckland streets to itself, Lime e-scooters have a rival. Wave officially joined the city's e-scooter trial today with a powhiri at Te Puea Memorial Marae in Māngere. The Auckland trial was initially due to wrap up on January 10 but was extended until March 31. After a week's absence, Limes returned to Auckland on March 1, with a new requirement to report safety issues within 48 hours.
