An electric scooter company is providing an alternative for people trying to get around Bridgeport.

Bethel-based Lynx has expanded into Bridgeport and says the response has been overwhelming.

To use Lynx, download the Lynx app, scan the barcode and then add your funds.

The company says the scooters can go up to 15 mph and they are an eco-friendly way to get around during this pandemic.

A portion of every ride will be donated to the Beardsley Zoo to support local wildlife.

The scooters are also in New Milford and Orlando, Florida.
