The dockless transportation boom that came to Salt Lake City last summer only continues to grow, with the addition this week of a third e-scooter company and GREENbike’s planned expansion into the e-bike arena this fall.
Spin, a San Francisco-based scooter company, came to St. George last month and now joins the companies Bird and Lime in Utah’s capital city. Under city regulations, each of the companies can deploy up to 500 scooters — meaning there could now be up to 1,500 on city streets if each company went for the maximum.
And while city officials speculate the scooters may soon reach saturation, it’s possible more could come, since there are currently no limitations on the number of companies that can launch.
