Two new electric scooter companies may be hopeful of toppling popular scooter company Lime from prime position on Brisbane's streets, after Adelaide City Council recently evicted Lime in favour of scooter companies Beam and RIDE.

Earlier this year, Adelaide City Council held an expression of interest process for up to two scooter companies to operate in the city until October, after Lime had operated a two-month trial on the streets.

Beam and RIDE were the two successful companies, prompting a sharp rebuke from Lime.

"The City of Adelaide will now request Lime to cease operations across the City of Adelaide after it was unsuccessful in its bid to secure one of the two new permits," the council statement said last week.
