But this doesn\u2019t mean the end of this practical and eco-friendly mode of transport. In 2025, many Parisians continue to use their own electric scooter for daily commuting.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the rules, usage, and alternatives.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>The end of shared electric scooters in Paris<\/h2>\n<p>Since September 1st, 2023, the city of Paris has officially ended free-floating electric scooter operations. This decision followed a public consultation in which 89% of voters supported the ban. Operators such as Lime, Tier, and Dott removed their fleets from the streets of Paris.<\/p>\n<p>It is no longer possible to rent an electric scooter by the minute through an app within Paris city limits. However, the use of personal electric scooters is still allowed, under specific conditions.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Using your personal scooter in Paris: the rules in 2025<\/h2>\n<p>If you own an electric scooter, you can still ride it in Paris. But make sure to follow the rules or risk a fine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maximum speed: <strong>25 km\/h<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>No riding on sidewalks<\/strong> (fine up to \u20ac135)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mandatory use of bike lanes<\/strong> when available<\/li>\n<li>Only one rider per scooter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helmet recommended<\/strong>, mandatory for children under 12<\/li>\n<li>Required equipment: front\/rear lights, bell, reflective vest at night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h2>Where to park your scooter in Paris?<\/h2>\n<p>Scooter parking is regulated. You must park only in designated areas, such as <strong>bicycle or scooter spaces<\/strong>. Parking on sidewalks or in front of building entrances may result in a \u20ac35 fine.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>How much does a personal electric scooter cost?<\/h2>\n<p>The price of an electric scooter varies depending on quality, range, and features. In 2025, reliable models start around <strong>\u20ac350<\/strong>, while high-end versions can exceed <strong>\u20ac1,000<\/strong>. It\u2019s often a worthwhile medium-term investment if you replace car or public transport trips.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cxf8oR9tpeb\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:16px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cxf8oR9tpeb\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\" background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>What are the alternatives in 2025?<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to buy your own scooter, other soft mobility options are available in Paris:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Electric V\u00e9lib\u2019<\/strong>: the city\u2019s bike-sharing service, available by subscription or daily pass<\/li>\n<li><strong>V\u00e9ligo<\/strong>: long-term electric bike rental in \u00cele-de-France, starting from \u20ac20\/month with subsidy<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electric scooters (mopeds)<\/strong>: rentable via operators like Cityscoot or Yego<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walking + metro\/RER\/tram<\/strong>: Paris still offers one of the densest transit networks in Europe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h2>In summary<\/h2>\n<p>In 2025, electric scooters haven\u2019t disappeared from Paris\u2014but their use is now limited to personal models.
