Brussels Mobility has announced a strict cap on shared e-scooters, limiting their number to 8,000 within the city from February 1, 2024. Currently, there are over 20,000 e-scooters circulating in

Brussels, but only Bolt and Dott will continue as providers under the new regulation.

Moreover, Bolt, Dott, and Voi have been designated as shared bike providers (totaling 7,500 bikes), while Felyx and GO Sharing will serve as shared moped providers (totaling 900). Additionally, TIER and Pony will cater to shared cargo bikes (totaling 300).

This measure is part of Brussels' strategy to mitigate the disruptions stemming from shared e-scooters. Last summer, the Brussels government passed a decree aimed at enhancing the regulation of shared scooters and bikes in the city.

The new rules entail a restriction on the number of operators and prohibit parking outside designated zones, termed "drop zones." Brussels Mobility, in collaboration with municipalities, has established 1,000 drop zones, with plans to increase this number to 1,500 in the coming weeks.

Effective February 1, 2024, these regulations will be implemented in 11 Brussels municipalities. However, in the remaining eight municipalities, operators will employ their GPS tracking system to confine parking exclusively to locations specified by local authorities.
