Voi

Electric scooters

Since Voi launched in Sweden, ever-increasing numbers of Stockholmers and tourists can be spotted cruising around town on electric scooters. In order to find out where the closest electric scooter is to you, all you need to do is download the app - and when you're finished with the scooter you can just leave it where you are (within reason). They've also set up designated parking spots around the city.

Lime

Electric scooters

Lime wants to enable people to get around town in a smarter, more environmentally-friendly way. Just download their app and find one of their light green electric scooters nearby. The American company launched in Stockholm in November 2018.

Tier

Electric scooters

In the spring of 2019, the German company Tier joined the ranks of electric scooter companies to launch in Stockholm and you can now hire their green scooters to nip around town on. Like their competitors, they encourage their users to wear a helmet, and to be careful and responsible.
