Electric scooters returned to Kansas State and Manhattan on Saturday, March 1, through a new partnership with Veo, a micro-mobility business.
Manhattan assistant city manager Jared Wasinger said Veo started with 250 scooters in the core of K-State’s campus and the city’s Town Center and Aggieville areas.
“From a city perspective, we knew that students were going to ride scooters off campus,” Wasinger said. “They’re going to want to ride throughout the city and go to places like Aggieville and Town Center.”
Students can rent scooters by downloading the Veo app. The cost to unlock a scooter is $1, and the fee to ride is 35 cents per minute.
To prioritize rider safety on Fake Patty’s Day, Veo will temporarily pause operations in Manhattan from 8 p.m. Friday, March 7, to 6 a.m. Sunday, March 9.
