[From democracy.york.gov.uk/documents/s166022/Annex%20A_EqIA_Micromobility%20trial_Mar23.pdf] The decision for York to participate in the DfT’s trials was made on the 8th September 2020
at the Executive Member for Transport Decision Session. The micromobility trial was initially scheduled for a 12-month period, however, the trial has since been extended until the 31st May 2024.]
The scheme launched late October 2020 with e-scooters:

E-cycles arrived in April 2021: #167515.
Who can/cannot hire a Tier product:
- you need a driving licence to join the Tier scheme and hire an e-scooter;
- you don't need a driving licence to join the Tier scheme to hire an e-cycle.
There are no exceptions to the requirement to have a driving licence for people who are adults but have a health condition such as epilepsy, for example. On 26.8.22 The Tier Head of Cities - UK & Ireland confirmed: "This [having a driving licence to hire an e-scooter] is a requirement set by the DfT which we are unable to control."
