Doha: E-scooter and e-bike companies in Qatar, before starting operations, have to identiy their geographical boundaries to ensure safety requirement and to obtain a no-objection letter from the Ministry of Transport. 

The Ministry has temporarily restricted certain areas in the country for these e-scooters and e-bikes until December 25, 2022 as can be seen in the below map. 

The e-scooters or e-bikes are not allowed in Corniche, which has been pedestrianised, and in the vicinity of the stadium temporarily during the World Cup. 

The Transport Ministry called upon all companies that operate and / or rent out e-scooters and e-bikes to apply for and obtain a no-objection letter from the Ministry's Technical Affairs Department, in order to identify the geographical boundaries and to ensure safety requirements of operation areas.
