The kicksharing service "Urent" has started a new season of electric scooter rentals in the Moscow region. In 2026, the service plans to operate in more than 35 cities in the region. The first scooters have already appeared in Dolgoprudny, Odintsovo, Reutov, Korolev, and Khimki.
The size of the fleet was decided not to be changed — about 20 thousand devices were put on the streets, as a year ago.
This season, the service has updated the equipment. The scooters received turn signals, improved handling, and large identification numbers. They are easily read by cameras — this should simplify the search for traffic violators.
Control over users has also been strengthened. Identification via MTS ID is used for rental, which helps to restrict access to minors. Safety consultants will work in popular rental locations, and joint checks with the police are planned.
You can complain about dangerous driving via the service's Telegram bot — just send a photo of the scooter with a visible number.
Trips automatically include insurance for pedestrians. If there is a collision or other incident, compensation can reach 900 thousand rubles.
The service is part of the MTS ecosystem and is on the "white list" of the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia. This means that the application should continue to work even with mobile Internet restrictions.
But if the connection is lost, the scooter can still be rented. To do this, simply select the rental mode via SMS in the application and scan the QR code on the handlebar. After sending the message, the device is activated and the per-minute trip begins. You can end the rental in the same way.
There is also a second option — send an SMS with the scooter number to the service number. You can end the trip in the same way.
