Denver, CO, August 7, 2026 —
Denver residents are expressing frustration regarding the presence and usage of Veo e-bikes and scooters throughout the city. Key issues highlighted by the community include instances of sidewalk riding and what some describe as “scooter litter,” referring to improperly parked or abandoned devices.
The city of Denver recently entered into a contract with Veo, a decision that saw the company replace previous vendors providing shared electric mobility options. Despite existing legislation that prohibits scooters from operating on sidewalks, complaints from residents indicate that these issues continue to be a problem.
In response to the growing concerns, Veo has indicated that the company is actively working to implement measures aimed at mitigating sidewalk riding and improper parking. These measures reportedly include the deployment of educational warnings for users and the establishment of mandatory parking zones designed to ensure e-bikes and scooters are parked appropriately.
The effectiveness of these new measures in addressing resident complaints and ensuring compliance with city ordinances remains to be seen as the service continues to operate under the new contract.
