More than 1,000 riders have so far used its e-scooter sharing scheme in Wexford, with 25 receiving warnings around reckless riding and seven being banned, figures from the mobility company Bolt show.
It comes as the debate continues whether the project should continue beyond its six-month trial period.
Some point to its popularity, while others have safety concerns.
It is just shy of a month since Wexford town got new wheels.
Electric scooters - 50 in all.
It is the first such public sharing scheme in the country and new data shows just how much use they have been getting.
Figures from the operator, Bolt, show there have so far been 1,024 unique users, clocking up a total distance of 9,000km.
Four weeks into this six-month trial period, the roll-out has been deemed a success by some local representatives.
"They’re used continuously, if you are looking for one, you’d have a job getting one," said Fianna Fáil Councillor Pip Breen.
"So if they’re being used, they are a success, and it’s all about the usage… they [Bolt] say the number of scooters here, the usage is very high."
"I think if people took a view that we’re not going to explore new modes of transport in the times we’re facing into, we’re a coastal county, and if we don’t want to be knee deep in water in Wexford town, I think we have to explore every mode of transport and that includes e-scooters.
"They are a very safe mode of transport in my opinion, they’re limited to 20km/h. They are card operated … so in my opinion … there’s been no issues with them so far."
"I think they should stay … we have to give everything a try, you can’t just say 'no, no, no’, I’m quite willing to give these a good go and if they work, I’d be happy to roll them out," he said.
The scooters have divided opinion in the town, with those who say they are being ridden recklessly and should be withdrawn after the trial period ends.
"I think people see them very much as a joyride in some respects," said Labour Councillor George Lawlor.
"There are people who will use them properly, but from what I’ve witnessed the majority are being mis-used, both on the footpath and in various parts of the town, where they’re unsuitable for use."
"It merits a serious rethink to have these scooters in place. I didn’t approve of them from the start, however they were brought in on a trial, so let’s see how that trial works out, but in my own view I don’t think they will be continued … I don’t think they should be continued."
Bolt, the operator of the scooters, says safety is its top priority.
It says there have been no reports of accidents.
Twenty-five users, however, have received warnings about reckless riding, with seven banned.
In a statement, Head of Public Policy for Ireland at Bolt Aisling Dunne said: "Since introducing scooters in Wexford a month ago, the first new transport mode introduced in Ireland in over 100 years, there have already been over 3,750 trips covering over 9,000km.
"Safety is a top priority, and any users who breach our safety rules are barred from the platform. We will continue to work with public representatives, the gardaí and residents to ensure that users abide by road traffic legislation."
The company points out that users have to be over 18, but those concerned about the project say they are worried that some riders seem to be younger.
Bolt also says a cognitive test measures users’ reaction times to ensure riders are not impaired.
It says the scooters also have a built-in tandem riding prevention system to stop more than one person from riding the device at the same time.
This pilot project has still some road to run.
