As Cumberland welcomes BCAA’s Evolve electric scooter share program, the City of Courtenay has renewed its agreement with the program.

The City notes the program has been successful so far, with bikes available at 15 locations around Courtenay, plus several more stations across the Comox Valley.

Cumberland launched this summer.

Evolve wants to add 10 more locations and include electric kick scooters in the service. Before that, the City says it needs to review provincial laws, update local rules, and work with partners like the RCMP and the Comox Valley Regional District.

E-scooters would be allowed only on roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or lower and not on sidewalks, trails, or parks.
