Italian Shared Micromobility — E-Scooter & E-Bike Sharing (June 2026)

Shared e-scooter (monopattino) and e-bike services, covering only the regions with deep-dives in index.md: Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Marche, Umbria, Abruzzo, Puglia, Calabria. Other regions are out of scope. Current status only.

Compiled from operator location pages (bitmobility.it/dove-siamo, ridedott.com, ridemovi.com/cities, elerent.com/citta, vaimoo.com, mulomobility.it, weelo.it) plus municipal sites and 2025–2026 local news. No central registry exists, so coverage is best-effort; small seasonal deployments shift.

New road rules — why this matters for the 500 m walker

Italy's new Codice della Strada is reshaping the market:

Consequences:

Bridge guidance: for the 500 m-limit traveller, treat shared e-scooters as an unreliable / legally-grey bridge (default to taxi). Where available, shared e-bikes are the better micro-bridge — helmet-exempt and expanding. Note many e-bike systems are docked (station-to-station), which means walking to/from a fixed station; free-float systems can be left anywhere.

Legend


Emilia-Romagna

City E-scooter E-bike
Bologna Bird, Dott RideMovi
Cervia Bird
Cesena RideMovi RideMovi
Ferrara Dott Dott
Forlì Bike Sharing FMI
Imola RideMovi
Modena Dott
Parma RideMovi RideMovi
Piacenza RideMovi RideMovi
Ravenna Bird, Helbiz Helbiz
Reggio Emilia Dott RideMovi
Riccione Bit, Dott Bit, Dott
Rimini Bit, Lime Bit
Riviera Romagnola (S. Giov. in Marignano) Bit

Notes: RideMovi is the regional bike/e-bike backbone (free-float, one app across Bologna, Imola, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia, Parma, Cesena). The old docked "Mi Muovo in bici" was dismantled (Bologna/Imola/Ferrara) in favour of free-float. Bologna's scooter operators (Bird/Dott) are authorised but the live 2026 fleet is small/uncertain. Cervia's Bird scooters are seasonal. Helbiz (Ravenna) is financially distressed — treat as unreliable.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

City E-scooter E-bike
Gorizia GO2GO
Lignano Sabbiadoro Bird RideMovi, Weelo
Palazzolo dello Stella Weelo
Pordenone Weelo
Precenicco Weelo
Trieste BiTS (Bicincittà)
Udine RideMovi

Notes: Almost no free-float scooters in FVG — Bird's seasonal Lignano fleet is the only one. Udine dropped scooters entirely; it and Lignano now run RideMovi free-float bikes/e-bikes. The rest are docked: Trieste BiTS (classic bikes, not e-bikes), Gorizia GO2GO (cross-border with Nova Gorica), Weelo/"Riviera Friulana" (Lignano, Palazzolo dello Stella, Precenicco), Pordenone "Bike E-vai!".

Marche

City E-scooter E-bike
Grottammare Helbiz
Mondolfo Fa.Mo.Se. (nextbike)
Pesaro RideMovi
Senigallia Fa.Mo.Se. (nextbike)

Notes: Thin market — no Lime/Dott/Bit anywhere in Marche. Pesaro RideMovi e-bikes (free-float) is the only reliable shared option on the Adriatic leg. Senigallia + Mondolfo share the docked Fa.Mo.Se. system (nextbike by TIER). Grottammare's Helbiz scooters are likely lapsed (contract ran to Dec 2024; not on the current town transport page). Fano has no usable shared service (legacy municipal bike-share is moribund) — use Pesaro's RideMovi or a taxi. San Benedetto del Tronto: municipal scooter + planned e-bike, both unconfirmed for 2026.

Umbria

City E-scooter E-bike
Perugia Weelo

Notes: Umbria is essentially a blank — no e-scooter sharing anywhere, and the only shared service of any kind is Perugia's docked Weelo pedal-assist e-bikes (~30 bikes / ~7 stations, station-to-station). No Lime/Dott/Bit/RideMovi/Elerent in the region. Perugia's centre is reached mainly via the MiniMetrò + escalators rather than these bikes.

Abruzzo

City E-scooter E-bike
Alba Adriatica VAIMOO
Chieti VAIMOO
Francavilla al Mare VAIMOO
Giulianova VAIMOO
L'Aquila Elerent
Martinsicuro VAIMOO
Montesilvano Elerent
Ortona VAIMOO
Pescara Bit Bit
Pineto VAIMOO
Roseto degli Abruzzi VAIMOO
San Vito Chietino VAIMOO
Silvi VAIMOO
Teramo VAIMOO
Tortoreto VAIMOO

Notes: VAIMOO runs the regional docked e-bike network (operated by TUA): 345 e-bikes / 104 stations / 12 coastal + inland comuni. Pescara is the only free-float town (Bit scooters + e-bikes; replaced Helbiz). Elerent free-float scooters in Montesilvano + L'Aquila. Costa dei Trabocchi (Fossacesia leg): no free-float sharing; the Via Verde path has shop-based e-bike rental (rent at the trailhead). Nearest VAIMOO docked e-bikes: Ortona, San Vito Chietino. L'Aquila municipal e-bike scheme approved Feb 2026, not yet live.

Puglia

City E-scooter E-bike
Bari Bit, Dott, Lime VAIMOO
Bisceglie Elerent
Brindisi RideMovi
Foggia Foggia by Bike, Let's Fò
Lecce Bit, Reby LeBike (Lecce Share)
Monopoli VAIMOO
Nardò Elerent
Polignano a Mare Elerent Elerent
San Foca / Torre dell'Orso Elerent
Taranto Bit VAIMOO
Trani VAIMOO

Notes: VAIMOO runs the Regione Puglia docked e-bike network — active in Bari, Taranto, Monopoli, Trani (Trani relaunched via Amet). First-gen towns Molfetta, Giovinazzo, Altamura, Gravina were suspended Sept 2025 (funding lapsed, not confirmed reactivated). Bari is the only multi-operator scooter market (Lime + Dott + Bit); a listed Helbiz presence is stale. Brindisi = RideMovi scooters (since Jul 2025). Lecce = Bit + Reby scooters + docked LeBike e-bikes (bigger tender pending). Elerent (Polignano, Nardò, San Foca) is seasonal/coastal — verify in-app in season. Candidate bases: Monopoli has the best e-bike coverage (VAIMOO, 200 bikes / 45 stations incl. Capitolo beaches); Polignano has seasonal Elerent; Conversano and Giovinazzo have nothing active. (Bari's Pikyrent = e-moped + microcar, excluded.)

Calabria

City E-scooter E-bike
Castrovillari VAIMOO
Catanzaro Elerent VAIMOO
Corigliano-Rossano Elerent
Cosenza Elerent VAIMOO
Crotone Elerent
Isola di Capo Rizzuto Elerent
Palmi VAIMOO
Paola Elerent
Reggio Calabria Mulo Mobility Mulo Mobility, Reggio in Bici
Scilla Mulo Mobility Mulo Mobility
Soverato Elerent
Vibo Valentia On (Onmobility)

Notes: No big scooter free-floaters in Calabria. Elerent free-float scooters in 7 towns (the old "Lago Arvo / Lorica" entry is dropped — not on the current Elerent list). VAIMOO docked e-bikes (Ferrovie della Calabria tender) in Castrovillari, Catanzaro, Cosenza, Palmi. Mulo Mobility (local) runs scooters + e-bikes in Reggio Calabria + Scilla only (despite "tutta la Calabria" marketing). Reggio's docked "Reggio in Bici" (Bicincittà) is partial/restarting. Vibo's "On" e-bike system is a defunct "ghost" service — don't rely on it.
