E-Fly is a scooter-sharing service that was recently launched in Kuwait.
Scooter-sharing is a service in which electric scooters are made available to rent on the side of the road for quick trips. They can be picked up and dropped off usually anywhere within a zone and are activated using an app. I’ve used them in Europe and Dubai to move around and they can be extremely practical and usually a lot faster than Uber or public transportation especially when you’re in a congested city like Paris or London.
In Kuwait, at the moment there are three areas where E-Fly is available, the Gulf Road from Marina Mall to Scientific Center, the Mishref Oasis Park, and at the South Island of the Causeway Bridge.
The rental price is 100 fils to start and then 50 fils for every minute you rent the scooter. The app is available on both the Apple and Google Store and you can check out their Instagram for more details and links @eflyscooter

That’s not really scooter sharing though. It’s just a more advanced model of a scooter rental that uses an app. Real scooter sharing would allow you to find and take scooters all over the city. This is a leisure rental with 3 far-apart outlets as opposed to scooter sharing. It could potentially expand to become a real scooter sharing operation, but they probably couldn’t survive the demand drop every summer (and the exploding batteries, or at least dead batteries).
It’s a leisure rental yes but it’s scooter sharing so not sure why you’re disagreeing with that description. It’s the exact same thing except because we don’t have bike lanes or side walks in kuwait they’re really limited to where they can set these up.
MOI ban in 3.. 2.. 1..

It’s Mark! He’s promoting inappropriate scooter sharing schemes.
He is on the watch list since 2006! Inshallah deportation soon.

Remember when bike sharing was a thing in Kuwait?
