"Obviously the council is very mindful of things like pedestrian safety, parking and the enjoyment of our outdoor spaces and amenities for everyone."
Beam had controls in place to restrict scooter use, Langford said.
"That's including through technology that effectively prevents the scooters from working outside of designated areas and timeframes."
The council's current agreement with Beam excluded the lower part of Victoria Ave from the trial.
"In addition to this 'no-go' zone, there are no-parking zones, including the riverside shared pathways, and as this is a trial, we will continue to work with Beam
to determine the designated parking areas for scooters," Langford said.
Restricted speed areas where scooters will be unable to exceed 15km/h are also in place.
"Added to this Beam have committed to clear timeframes around retrieving scooters if they have been incorrectly parked," Langford said.
The public was able to have a pre-trial ride on the scooters at the Whanganui River Markets last weekend.
