For the first season, Neuron, Bird, Link, Spin, and Roll launched in Red Deer in July, with Lime joining in August. All e-scooter companies have reported they will return to Red Deer for next season. Based on the feedback received, season two of the pilot program will keep the pilot open to all companies and no caps on the number of e-scooters. E-scooters will return March 15, 2022 (or later, depending on weather), for the second summer pilot.
