Bike & e-scooter hire in Rome
A rented scooter carries national rules with it. Since December 2024 a helmet, an identification plate and insurance are required, with fines starting at €50, and the Polizia Locale enforce it across the city. The apps hold the vehicle to 6 km/h in pedestrian areas by themselves. A rental does not end when you step off, only when the vehicle is parked in an authorised bay, and the charge keeps running until it is. Cooltra's mopeds are a different category and ask for a driving licence. Tickets, passes and contactless are on the Rome page.
Dockless vehicles park on-street inside app-approved zones; there is no station to return them to.
