TOKYO -- Two of the world’s biggest electric scooter startups are entering Japan, as the heated race for growth in the sharing economy's latest iteration expands to Asia despite regulatory uncertainty.
U.S.-based Neutron Holdings, commonly known as Lime, and its main competitor Bird will each hold two-day trials in the western city of Fukuoka between late August and early September, during which their e-scooters will be available for test rides, the local government announced on Friday.
