Another week, another world-first for British micromobility, thanks to Beryl. Plus: Coventry’s incredible scooter success; Bolt’s fast-track carbon-cutting programme; why number plates are a poor substitute for education and collaboration; and your favourite micromobility editorial source releases a rather nifty film trailer.
The inexorable wave of micromobility rolls across several shires this week as e-scooters roll into three towns in Staffordshire and Buckinghamshire; two towns confirm scooter providers, in Yorkshire and Worcestershire. Elsewhere, Essex reveals plans to run six different projects, and Coventry hiccups. It’s not quite Tolkien but it has been a busy week for electric scooters.
Epic micromobility news this week as Voi reveals plans to field 10,000 e-scooters across seven towns and cities in the West Midlands. It is the largest single-operator contract in the world.
Much ado about micromobility in the UK this week, including: Spin and Lime go live in Milton Keynes; Ginger heads to Hartlepool and Redcar; Voi springs an early morning surprise with Northampton and Kettering; Tier’s London bash; and Beryl announces a tri-modal programme for Norwich. Phew.
A trio of tasty British stories this week as Westminster gets a new all-party group to examine micromobility topics, bicycle maker Brompton plans a new subscription service and famed F1 and engineering group Williams builds a bonkers racing electric scooter.
Cambridge joins Middlesbrough and Milton Keynes in confirming participation in the government’s e-scooter trials, with Swedish operator Voi in the hotseat. Cambridge also steals the headlines by opening a rather wonderful cycling-friendly roundabout. Elsewhere: Link’s DfT type approval, Teesside’s teething troubles and Spin’s sustainability strategy.
