A new type of e-scooter has hit Auckland's streets, with remote-control capabilities.

Ario's three-wheeled variety can be moved off the street, after being left by users.

General Manager, Adam Muirson says the three-wheelers are designed to help people who struggle with balance.

"Pedestrian and disability advocacy groups were really impressed with how these adjustments are going to improve safety and access for everyone."
