As it comes to an end, the Everett City Council is set to receive an update tonight (Aug. 14) on the pilot as councilmembers consider permanently adding the battery-powered scooters to Everett.

Lime, one of the nation’s leading scooter-rental and bike-share companies, has said the pilot has exceeded expectations.

The scooters cost riders $1 to unlock and 25 cents per minute thereafter.

The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in city council chambers, 2930 Wetmore Ave.
