D.C. has dockless scooters and, to a lesser degree these days, dockless bikes. But if one European-based company has its way, the District may also soon have electric seated scooters that resemble Vespas.

WTOP reports that Muving, a Spanish electric scooter-sharing operation, has been in contact with the D.C. Department of Transportation to discuss entering the city’s dockless vehicle program. A WTOP reporter spotted the bright yellow Muving scooter on Connecticut Avenue north of Dupont Circle over the weekend.

Currently, the dockless program is still in its pilot phase, which will last through the end of the year. Under the pilot program, each company can have a maximum of 400 vehicles in the city, a limitation that some dockless bike companies have cited as their reason for leaving the District.

Long before dockless bikes came onto the scene last year, D.C. has had carsharing operators, which similarly allow users to find vehicles parked on the street and take them to a new location through an app. Car2Go, for instance, launched in the District in March of 2012.

Muving made its stateside debut in June in Atlanta with 75 scooters, with the hope of expanding to other American cities. To be able to ride one of the scooters in that city, a person must have a driver’s license, be at least 18 years old, and wear a helmet, which comes with the vehicle. Muving is sharing the data it collects on the location and duration of scooter rides with the local government.

The scooters, which can hold up to two passengers, cost 35 cents per minute and are accessible using a phone app, according to the Muving website. The vehicles are 100 percent electric, with a 45 mile range and a top speed of 30 miles per hour.

Under the D.C. Code for non-traditional vehicles, it would be considered a “motor-driven cycle.” That means it requires a driver’s license and a helmet to ride. It is not permitted in bike lanes or on the sidewalk, though it may park on a sidewalk outside of the city’s Central Business District.

This news comes as D.C. has faced renewed concerns about pedestrian safety even while the city adds more options for getting around. This week, District officials proposed more bike lanes and slower speed limits, among other potential changes.

This post has been updated to reflect the accurate launch date of Car2Go.
