Can you take an e-scooter on the Aarhus light rail (Letbanen)?
Folded: free. Unfolded: bike ticket.
Short answer
Yes. On Letbanen in Aarhus an e-scooter that can be folded rides free as normal luggage, if it measures at most 30x60x100 cm. An unfolded e-scooter follows the rules for bikes and needs a bike ticket, which you buy on the platform or in the Midttrafik app. Unfolded scooters are not allowed on line L2 between Skolebakken and Universitetshospitalet on weekdays at kl. 7.00–8.30 and kl. 15.00–17.00.
Why
- Folded up to 30x60x100 cm: free.
- Unfolded needs a bike ticket.
- Rush-hour ban on part of L2.
Details
On Midttrafik city buses outside Aarhus an unfolded scooter also needs a bike ticket, bought in the app or from the driver, and a klippekort cannot be used for it.
Tip
Fold the scooter before you board: it saves the ticket and avoids the rush-hour ban.
What may differ
City buses in Aarhus have their own rules for bikes and scooters, so check them before you board a bus.
Common misconception
E-scooters are not allowed on public transport in Aarhus.
What actually happens
Folded scooters ride free on Letbanen, and unfolded ones go with a bike ticket.
