Amid safety and operations concerns, the future of electric bikes and scooters in Syracuse is unclear. Syracuse’s Common Council voted last month to extend the city’s contract with VeoRide, the company that operates the bike-share devices, only to the end of 2024, despite Mayor Ben Walsh’s recommendation for a three-year extension. The city of Syracuse initially began its contract with Veo in 2021 in an effort to fill the transportation gap for city residents without cars.
