Our sharing service is not exempt from but subject to the StVO. In the best case, you will end your trip in a designated motorcycle or scooter parking or a public and free parking lot within the business area.
Please make sure that the e-scooters are always parked in the direction of travel, not across the direction of travel or movement, so that no other road user is obstructed. Parked scooters/e-scooters are usually tolerated if they are parked on the pavement, provided they do not hinder public traffic, i.e. pedestrians, bicycles or cars. The decision on this is taken by the Public Order Office of your city.
If you still receive a parking ticket because, for example, the e-scooter was not clearly recognizable as an electric vehicle (it does not have an electric license plate), you can object to the parking ticket within ten days. Here you can also contact the Public Order Office of your city. The contact details can be found on the parking ticket.
