[Update: Change to scheme 29.7.22 see: #185003] [Update: the Tier e-scooters/e-cycles are now on the opposite side of Marygate carpark see: #169647] [Image taken 1.3.21] Marygate car park, York, Tier electric hire scooters (www.tier.app/tier-selected-as-sole-operator-to-serve-historic-york/) .
The scheme launched late October 2020 with e-scooters:

E-cycles arrived in April 2021: #167515.
Who can/cannot hire a Tier product:
- you need a driving licence to join the Tier scheme and hire an e-scooter;
- you don't need a driving licence to join the Tier scheme to hire an e-cycle.
There are no exceptions to the requirement to have a driving licence for people who are adults but have a health condition such as epilepsy, for example. On 26.8.22 The Tier Head of Cities - UK & Ireland confirmed: "This [having a driving licence to hire an e-scooter] is a requirement set by the DfT which we are unable to control."
