Spin has spun out of Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡.

The popular orange bikes and scooters are being phased out of Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡, said a spokesperson for the company.

The spokesperson said that last week they received a notification saying that there will be no more services in Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡. The company says that this decision was due to profitability and sustainable markets.

Spin is one of two companies that received a permit to operate in Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ as part of the provincial pilot project for micro-mobility. The city said that ‘The Bikeshare Micromobility Permit Program’ is intended to provide affordable and accessible mobility options.

Lime is currently still operating in Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ as the sole micro-mobility provider.

The timeline and permanence of the change is not yet known, and the spokesperson for Spin, but they hope that the orange scooters will be back in Âé¶¹¾«Ñ¡ sometime in the future.

Edit: An earlier version of this story said that the spokesperson did not know why there would be no more service.
