A lot of people love their electric scooters.

In Gainesville, three companies rent out a fleet of up to 600 of the devices. That’s according to Ride Report data. The city’s website says they are a healthy, economical and sustainable transportation alternative.

WUFT’s Maia Labbe has been looking into how riders can use them safely.

Listen to her story.

Maia is a reporter for WUFT News who can be reached by calling 352-392-6397 or emailing news@wuft.org.
