As of August 21st, 2018, the city of Manhattan Beach temporarily banned the use of electric scooters. You need to be 18 years or older and have a valid drivers license to rent an electric scooter such as Bird or Lime. To rent a scooter, you download the app “Bird” or “Lime”, create an account and enter a credit card. For the Bird Scooters, it costs $1 per mile you ride the scooter. The average mph of a Bird scooter is 25, getting people place to place in a  timely manner. The city of Manhattan Beach also took away the Downtowner last year after 10 months of the program, leaving the city without any public transportation.
