The ACT Government will not renew Beam Mobility’s e-scooter permit after an investigation raised concerns about the operator’s compliance with the permit conditions.

It means that all of Beam’s e-scooters in Canberra will need to be deactivated by midnight on Sunday 8 September 2024. All of their e-scooters will need to be removed from public areas by 4pm Friday 13 September.

The decision to revoke the company’s permit comes after Beam admitted to installing more scooters in certain areas than it was licensed for, resulting in the company paying lower fees than required.

I was wondering if this would happen after seeing Brisbane cancelled their contract, they've followed suit pretty quickly.
