E-scooter and e-bikes in Vellmar: New mobility offer conquers the city!

in Vellmar, a three-month test phase for the loan of e-scooters and e-bikes began a week ago. During this pilot phase, the Bolt company operates 24. Borrowing only requires a smartphone and the Bolt app, through which you can also use the payment options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or credit card. Users can easily borrow vehicles by scanning a QR code and return after the journey by sending a photo detection of their parking position via the app.

The first users report mixed experiences: the vehicles are clearly used and show many signs of wear, which dampens the driving pleasure. Technically, everything works perfectly, but the acoustics of the scooter ensures some excitement in dogs. The cost of use amounts to 49 cents for unlocking and 19 cents per minute for the e-scooter, which is about 8 euros on a 35-minute drive from Vellmar to the University of Kassel. This is perceived by many as high, especially compared to the faster and cheaper tram connection. More information can be found in an article at www.hna.de .
