ScootRadar puts every shared e-scooter around you on one map, whoever runs it, so the closest ride is the first thing you see. Each operator's app shows only its own fleet. ScootRadar shows them all, so the nearest scooter is simply the nearest one. KNOW THE WALK Distance and walking time from where you stand, or from an address you look up. Directions draws the way on foot on the map and follows you as you walk. SKIP THE FLAT ONES Battery and remaining range, where the operator publishes them. Set a minimum and the map keeps only the scooters that reach it. PRICE BEFORE YOU COMMIT An estimate from the operator's published rates for a ride of 5 to 30 minutes, with the free unlocks and free minutes of your passes taken into account. The operator's app shows the final price. ONE TAP TO THE RIGHT APP "Open in" takes you to the operator's own app, where you unlock and pay as usual. ScootRadar doesn't rent or reserve scooters. WHERE IT WORKS The scooters of 39 operators, in more than 1,000 towns and cities in 58 countries: Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and more of Europe; the United States and Canada; Brazil, Chile and Mexico; Japan and South Korea; Israel, Turkey, New Zealand and others. Among them are Berlin, Oslo, Tokyo, Chicago, Santiago, Rome, São Paulo, Stockholm, Seoul and Zürich. Where no operator publishes its data, the map says so and shows the closest cities that do.
