Red Bike in talks to bring rental moped-style electric scooters to Cincinnati

Red Bike is in talks with California-based scooter manufacturer OjO to bring to Cincinnati seated, electric battery-powered rental scooters, according to the regional bike-share program's executive director, Jason Barron. Unlike Bird and Lime scooters, these would offer a cushioned seat, a set of handlebars with a motorcycle-like throttle, and a basket on the back for storing cargo. Like their stand-up counterparts, users would be able to rent them using a mobile app, and they are completely electric, requiring overnight recharge when the battery dies.
