But not everyone on the City Council is convinced Dallas is ready for scooters just yet. Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway shared his major concern on .
"Making sure that we have the bicycles that are everywhere at least docked and not dockless," Caraway said. "Now, at the end of the day, instead of cleaning up the mess, we chose to move forward and add on top of that some scooters.鈥�
The city council opted to make the scooters legal for six months and revisit the subject after reviewing for any injuries, complaints or noncompliance with the rules.
The scooters aren't allowed to be driven on downtown sidewalks, but Caraway said there needs to be more regulation.
"We'll look and see that these bikes are still not being picked up, and it's going to all boil down on enforcement, and some of 'I told you so.'"
Scooter rentals cost $1 to start, plus 15 cents per minute via smartphone.
