Spin, the scooter-sharing service owned by Ford Motor Co., is expanding to new markets outside of the U.S.
The company will launch its first international fleet of electric scooters in Cologne, Germany, as soon as the spring, according to a statement. It will start with several hundred scooters and plans to increase the number quickly, though pricing hasn’t been decided. Spin also will apply in Paris for a scooter-sharing permit next month.
