Six years after the first electric scooter companies blitzed the Denver market, the future of shared scooting in Denver could shift dramatically. Lyft, one of two major providers in the city, said last week it was restructuring its electric bike and scooter business. The company will no longer operate dockless bike and scooter networks like the one it has spread across Denver, with users able to park them virtually anywhere in the public right-of-way within its coverage zones. It’s unclear if Lyft will bring in the new dock-based system it now favors — an electrified version of Denver’s old B-cycle stations, which provided purely human-powered bikes for dock-to-dock trips.
