The trial of e-scooters in the Great Yarmouth area has been extended to 2024.
The pilot, which started in March 2021, has seen riders clock a combined total of more than 200,000 miles across the borough.
Initially, the scheme offered 35 e-scooters across 50 parking bays but, due to demand, the fleet was increased to 70 scooters with an extra 15 bays.
And now, the Department for Transport (DfT) has announced that all e-scooter trials across the country have been extended to May 31, 2024.
The extension is restricted to existing trial areas only - including Bournemouth and Poole, Milton Keynes and the West Midlands - and will allow the DfT to gather further evidence where gaps are identified, building on the findings of the current evaluation.
Paul Wells, chairman of Great Yarmouth Borough Council's (GYBC) environment committee, said: "The extension of the e-scooter trial means our residents and visitors can continue to have a greener way to travel through our borough."
GYBC's trial saw it partner with authorised e-scooter operator, Ginger, in 2021.
By the end of October 2022, Ginger had 18,700 sign-ups in the borough, 13,400 unique riders and had saved 58 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The company has also extended its free rides programme for the NHS, emergency service workers and the armed forces, which was originally set to end in December 2021.
It allows two free journeys per day as a 'thank you' for their dedication to helping others.
The council said the scheme had been successful so far, having provided free journeys to more than 1,000 key workers nationwide.
However, the ongoing trial has not proved popular with everyone.
Councillor Tony Wright said previously he had witnessed "a number of infringements" by e-scooter riders who were using both the Ginger service and privately-owned scooters.
And in January last year, it was revealed 21 riders had been banned from using the service, one of whom collided with a six-year-old child on a bike.
Following news of the trial extension, GYBC is now asking for the public's views.
