A scooter-sharing business in downtown Pensacola has been halted after city officials learned the company did not have a business license to operate in the city. City spokeswoman Allie Norton said Blue Duck Scoters removed their scooters from downtown on Tuesday. Norton said before the company can acquire a business license the city will research the legality of motorized scooter use on city sidewalks which could result in an ordinance that would allow the company to return. For the past few weeks, the 30 scooters have been docked at various locations downtown, waiting for users to unlock them by using the Blue Duck Scooter app.
