E-run Cyprus
The company has a fundamentally different approach to scooter rental compared to what most users are used to: they offer daily rentals with a delivery option - similar to car rentals. However, users praise the quality of the scooters and the service in their reports. If you need to move actively for a couple of days - it's a good option.

The service is available in Limassol and Nicosia, and you can only pick up and drop it off at 20 locations in the city (14 of which are in Limassol), limiting mobility options. In addition to electric scooters, there are also regular scooters.

Another app, but with a small number of scooters and an app that hasn't been updated suspiciously. On the plus side - a large coverage area, coinciding with all of Limassol. However, the service is not available in other cities.
