italian escooter operators

Snapshot compiled May 2026. The Italian shared e-scooter market is in flux due to the new Codice della Strada (helmet + plate + RC insurance fully effective 16 May 2026). This is the most complete reference I could assemble; minor gaps remain.

Caveats

No central registry exists. Data pulled from each operator's own location pages and 2025–2026 news.
Per the Osservatorio Nazionale Sharing Mobility (October 2025 report), Italy had 62 active e-scooter sharing services in early 2025 — note "services," not "cities," since one city can host multiple operators counted separately. The Osservatorio likely also applies a quality threshold (free-floating with municipal authorization, minimum fleet size) that excludes some smaller turnkey or seasonal operations.
Florence banned shared e-scooters from 1 April 2026. Prato ended its service 31 December 2025. Bolt left Italy in January 2026. Voi has effectively exited Italy.
The list below totals 80+ municipalities with some form of monopattino sharing — but this includes seasonal coastal deployments and very-small-fleet turnkey operations that may not count toward the Osservatorio's 62.

Plus Elerent-only smaller deployments: Agropoli, Alassio, Alba Adriatica, Avola, Badesi, Sant'Alessio, Valledoria.

Total: 65 cities/communes in the matrix + 7 Elerent-only smaller towns = ~72 municipalities with at least one e-scooter sharing service.

Notable absences and exits

Banned or terminated

Firenze — outright sharing ban from 1 April 2026.
Prato — Bit Mobility ended service 31 December 2025.
Bolt — exited Milan and Italy entirely in January 2026.

Lost service per Osservatorio (16 capoluoghi total, 2022 → 2024–25)

Named explicitly: Catanzaro, Reggio Calabria (capoluogo — though Mulo Mobility has restored a smaller service), Pesaro, Prato. The other 12 are not publicly named.

Larger cities never with stable service

Genova (~565,000) — no shared e-scooter service
Bologna (~390,000) — bike sharing only (RideMovi); explicitly noted by the Osservatorio as the only top-5 city without monopattini
Trieste, Salerno, Foggia, Latina, Ancona — no confirmed active service in 2026

Reconciling with the Osservatorio's "62 services"

If you count operator-city pairs with substantial fleets:

Lime: ~12
Dott (incl. Vento Mobility): ~25
Bit Mobility: ~18
RideMovi monopattini-only deployments: ~13
Helbiz: ~11
Bird: ~2

That's roughly 81 operator-city pairs, but the Osservatorio figure (62) likely:

Excludes the very small Elerent and Mulo Mobility deployments
Excludes the smaller Helbiz cities (the company is in distress and many municipalities may consider the deployment lapsed)
Excludes seasonal-only deployments (Jesolo, Stintino summers)
Is counted at a specific date in early 2025, not May 2026
May treat sister-brand subsidiary deployments (e.g., Dott in Vento Mobility cities) as a single service

So 62 is plausibly a tighter "publicly-tendered, free-floating, full-year, capoluogo or major-city" count, and the actual physical inventory of cities where you can rent an e-scooter via app is roughly 70–80.

Population threshold guidance

No population guarantees service. Florence (~360,000) lost its service by political ban in 2026; Genova (~565,000) and Bologna (~390,000) have never had it.

Working rule of thumb:

Reliable (very unlikely to lose service): the four largest metros — Roma, Milano, Torino, Napoli (all 900k+).
Usually reliable: regional capitals 150,000–500,000 with active commitment to sharing — Verona, Bari, Bergamo, Rimini, Modena, Monza, Catania, Padova, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Cagliari.
Coin-flip below 100,000: depends on specific operator-municipality contracts. Smallest active deployments include Bollate (~36k), Settimo Torinese (~46k), Riccione (~35k), San Giovanni in Marignano (~9k), Stintino (~1k seasonal), Lerici (~9k), Scilla (~5k), Isola di Ponza (~3k).
