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.
