Perceptions and use of E-scooters - Survey

Over 3 million e-scooter rides have now taken place in Essex since the launch of the Department for Transport's e-scooter trial three years ago. To mark the milestone, Essex County Council wants to hear views from users and residents about their experiences. Whether a regular or occasional rider or a resident, the aim of the short survey is to help ECC plan for the future of the scheme.  

The trial locations in Essex which we want to hear feedback on are: 

  • Basildon
  • Braintree
  • Colchester 
  • Chelmsford  

The survey runs until 3rd January 2025 and should only take around 10 minutes to complete.  If you have any queries regarding the survey please contact: escootertrials@essex.gov.uk

Thank you for your time in completing this survey.

The e-scooter rental trial

This survey only relates to ‘hire escooters’ operated as part of the DfT approved trial. These are blue and operated by Dott.  These escooters are the only ones which can be legally used on public land.

This survey does NOT relate to the views or experience of non-hire escooters.  These are currently illegal, except on private land.  These escooters are often (but not always) black, and are privately owned.

Please answer the questions relating to hire e-scooters only.
