More e-scooters could be zipping along Saskatoon's streets this summer.

A report recommending legalizing private e-scooters on public roadways was given the green light Tuesday by the city's transportation committee. It will now go before city council when it next meets on May 21.

Privately owned e-scooters are currently not legal on the city's roads.

The report recommends allowing e-scooters on streets with speed limits of 50 km/h, bike lanes and multi-use pathways.
