You can use the Ruter app to buy single trips with electric scooters, electric bikes and city bikes from Oslo Bysykkel.
E-scooters back in the Ruter app in Oslo
From 25 June 2026, you can once again rent an e-scooter directly in the Ruter app in Oslo, after the service was closed at the end of May 2025. The service is also available in Akershus.
Five new security features
- Age verification via Vipps, which is intended to prevent minors from accessing the service
- Reaction test, intended to counter driving under the influence of intoxicants
- Mandatory safety test, which is intended to ensure that the user knows the most important rules before use
- Exclusion in the Ruter appof users who are already excluded by the individual operators, so that the app does not become a back door for blocked users
- AI verification of parking images, which will help improve parking
