Scooters: the best way to travel?

Scoot over Bath is joining a pilot scheme that’ll see a new mode of public transport take to the roads of our city: the electric scooter. Bath is one of a handful of locations involved in the West of England trial of the e-scooter scheme, which it is hoped will provide an eco-friendly and Covid-safe alternative mode of public transportation. For the next 12 months, you’ll be able to hire a Voi Technology e-scooter to get around the city. Even better, the scheme brings 60 new jobs to the area.
“With social distancing in place on public transport, our e-scooter trial is a chance for us to try a new, low carbon way to get our region moving, particularly up and down the big hills we have in both Bristol and Bath,” says Tim Bowles, West of England Mayor. Initially, there will be 50 scooters available for hire in Bath, with more set to become available over the coming months. The scooters cost £1 to unlock and 20p per minute to use, with subscription options and discounts
available for students, key workers and those on low incomes. To learn more about how it’s all going to work, visit: www.voiscooters.com
