TRANSPORT COMPANY BOLT is hoping to create over 130 jobs through the rollout of e-scooters in Irish cities.
Bolt launched a taxi-hailing service in Dublin last year and now plans to create a multi-model transport platform, where the public can choose between a car, e-scooter or an e-bike.
At present, e-scooters are currently not regulated in Ireland. There is no specific law covering them.
They are considered to be mechanically-propelled vehicles, which means that if they are used in public places users must hold a licence and insurance.
