Electric scooters are a common sight across Bristol and a popular way of getting around for many students and staff alike.
Many e-scooters in the city are rented through the government-backed trial operated by TIER.
To rent one of their distinctive green e-scooters from the street, users must first  download the Dott app, sign up and follow the steps set on the Dott website.
Users must be at least 18 years old, hold a provisional or full driving license and accept their terms and conditions before riding one of their scooters.
Users should park only in locations designated on the Dott app as scooter parking spots and in accordance with the operator’s terms of use.
Use of privately owned e-scooters remains illegal except on private land with consent of the landowner.
To avoid potential conflict with other users and for other safety reasons, the University does not permit use of private e-scooters on its estate.
Parking or storage of private e-scooters and/or charging of their batteries is therefore prohibited anywhere on the University estate, including at cycle parking facilities.
