Surge in E-Scooter and E-Bike Usage: Why Atlanta Can’t Get Enough

Published by eStar Rides – ATL’s #1 Spot for Electric Freedom
ATL Is Rolling Deep — The Streets Just Got Louder with E-Scooter and E-Bike (and Smarter)
If it feels like every corner of the city’s buzzing with two-wheel energy…
You’re right.
Whether it’s a college student cruising past Centennial Park, a West End mom swapping her second car for an E-Scooter and E-Bike, or a delivery rider slicing through Midtown on a high-torque scooter — Atlanta is officially in its electric era.
And the numbers back it up:
🚨 In April 2025 alone, over 210,000 Lime e-scooter and e-bike trips were recorded across Atlanta. That’s a 61% increase compared to last year.
This isn’t a trend. This is a transportation takeover — and eStar Rides is riding shotgun in the front row.
Why More Atlantans Are Ditching the Car
Atlanta’s got personality — but we’ve also got traffic, gas prices, and Uber bills that make your eyebrows hit the ceiling. So it’s no surprise folks are saying:
“Forget all that. I’m riding electric.”
Let’s be real:
- The I-285 crawl isn’t for the faint of heart
- MARTA still ain’t covering enough neighborhoods
- Parking in Midtown costs more than your lunch
- And $4.75/gallon? That’s a no from us.
So people are switching up. Fast.
From Edgewood to East Point, riders are waking up to the fact that e-bikes and scooters are faster, cheaper, cleaner, and more fun.
Why the Surge in E-Scooter and E-Bike? Let’s Break It Down:
Here’s what’s driving the e-ride boom in the A:
⚡ Convenience
Hop on. Cruise out. Park anywhere. Done.
No garage, gas and stress.
💸 Cost Savings
Riders save $200–$400/month vs. car ownership
(even more if you used to Uber everywhere)
🌍 Eco-Friendliness
Zero emissions. No tailpipes. Just breeze.
🧠 Peace of Mind
Less time in traffic = less stress, more freedom.
From Share to Ownership: Why Riders Are Buying Instead of Renting

Lime and Bird helped put electric micromobility on the map — but let’s talk facts:
Shared Scooter | Your Own Ride |
$7–$12/trip adds up fast | Own it outright or finance it |
Limited range + availability | Full charge, always ready |
Can’t lock it up | Full security + accessories |
No custom fit | Choose your size, your style |
Owning your e-bike or e-scooter = control.
And with eStar’s $75 down, $75 a week financing, getting your own ride is easier than ever.
Where Atlanta Is Riding Most
We see it every day at eStar. The city’s shifting:
- BeltLine: From Krog to Cascade, it’s the micromobility superhighway
- Midtown + Downtown: Students, creatives, and couriers are choosing speed and flexibility
- West End & Cascade: Locals replacing second cars, commuting smarter
- Little 5 Points + Edgewood: Rides as loud and fresh as the neighborhoods themselves
Every day, new riders are discovering how electric rides fit their lifestyle — not the other way around.
