After being delayed two months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, two electric scooter companies returned to Edmonton streets on Monday.

Bird and Lime said they each deployed 100 e-scooters on Monday, and more will be added to their fleets if all goes well. Clusters of scooters were spotted near Whyte Avenue and 109 Street, and on Jasper Avenue near 108 Street.
