Lake Mac e-scooters on track for a safe start

Beam e-scooters, like this one, will be seen out and about on selected paths in Lake Macquarie next week.

Only a few years ago, e-scooters were a novelty in Australia. Now, they can be found in capital and regional cities all over the country.

Lake Macquarie City Council is the first NSW council to trial e-scooters, with 100 purple e-scooters rolling out across the city next week for use on four selected shared paths.
