With springtime temperatures firmly in place, that could mean an increase in motorized scooter activity around Lexington.
Since the electric-powered scooters came on the scene in Lexington a few years ago, somewhere between 170 and 180,000 trips have been recorded annually. Lexington Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Scott Thompson said scooter firms Bird and Lyft’s inventory could reach 800 scooters, but currently, it averages around 500 a day combined.
