Hartford will have 250 silver and yellow electric scooters, scattered around the downtown area, that will be available to rent starting Thursday.
Mayor Luke Bronin will launch the scooters on Thursday, which also happens to be Earth Day, at 3 p.m., at Burr Mall. Boston-based startup Superpedestrian will be operating the scooter-sharing service, which is called LINK.
The LINK e-scooters are expected to be available all throughout Hartford within the next month. The city will have free safety training and a helmet giveaway Friday at Burr Mall between 11 a.m., to 1 p.
