Lake Macquarie Council will be the first council in New South Wales to take part in a 12-month e-scooter trial from December 5.
Transport company Beam, which also runs the city's shared e-bike program, will provide the e-scooters.
Riders will be limited to certain shared paths at a 10km/h speed limit, and only e-scooters provided through the scheme can be used.
The four routes includes the Fernleigh Track, the Croudace Bay foreshore, the Warners Bay foreshore to Glendale, and the Toronto foreshore to Fassifern train station.
They'll be available to people aged 16 and older.
