I came across all these electric scooters parked up last week.

They seem to be for some sort of pick up anywhere, pay by app, and drop off anywhere service that is being prepared for launch here in Samui. Looks like they come with helmet.

See pics:

Electric scooters are legal in Thailand but exist in a legal gray area. Technically, scooters with motors over 500W require registration and a driver's license.

I bet these are 499W.

Lots of money for the police as I'm sure they won't provide helmets when you use one.

I just came across them parked off Laem Din market. If you look at the photos, they have helmets in the front basket.

They had something written on the bikes about using an app in order to use them.
