In a city that never stops innovating, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has just rolled out an exciting update for commuters: foldable e-scooters are now officially allowed on the Metro and Tram! If you’re zipping around Dubai on one of these convenient, eco-friendly scooters, you can now take it along with you for the ride—just make sure it meets the rules. The RTA has set some simple guidelines: your e-scooter must be foldable, seatless, weigh under 20kg, and fit within specific dimensions. It’s time to fold it up and ride in style!
This move couldn’t come at a better time as Dubai continues its mission to promote sustainable transport options and make commuting as seamless as possible. Foldable e-scooters, already a favorite among residents and tourists for short trips, have become an increasingly popular way to travel around the city. Now, thanks to the RTA’s forward-thinking policy, riders can hop off their scooters and right onto the Metro or Tram without missing a beat. No more struggling with finding parking or having to leave your scooter behind!
The size and weight specifications are important to keep in mind if you want to bring your trusty scooter along. E-scooters must not weigh more than 20kg and need to fit within a size of 120cm x 70cm x 40cm. This ensures that the Metro and Tram stay safe and comfortable for all passengers while allowing e-scooter riders the flexibility they need.
This new regulation is part of Dubai’s broader vision to integrate multiple forms of transport, making the city more accessible and reducing traffic congestion. By allowing foldable e-scooters on public transit, the RTA is helping Dubai move one step closer to its goal of becoming one of the smartest, most connected cities in the world. For daily commuters, this means more freedom, more convenience, and a greener way to get around town.
So, next time you’re cruising through Dubai’s streets on your foldable e-scooter, remember that the Metro and Tram are now part of your journey. Fold it up, hop on, and glide through the city with ease! The future of commuting in Dubai just got a whole lot cooler.
