Bolt’s transport service platform is significantly expanding its fleet of scooters: today, the new Segway Ninebot Max vehicles will begin recording their first kilometers in the capital. From now on, there will be several times more scooters in the city than before, and their rental will be much cheaper.
Modified and adapted for sharing, the Segway Ninebot Max model is the same manufacturer as the Bolt electric scooters that appeared on the streets last season. Bigger wheels and tires make the new Segway Ninebot Max easier to drive on uneven surfaces, even more stable with a stronger construction, fewer moving parts and a center of gravity centered on the underside of the scooter. The increased battery capacity will allow you to drive up to 60 km.
According to Eimantas Balta, Bolt’s manager of electric scooter development in Lithuania and Latvia, it is planned to continue increasing the number of these vehicles in the capital. In addition, expanding the area where electric scooters can be left is being considered.
“To do this, we analyze the critical points of the city and look at where customers most frequently search for scooters and where most trips are made; we will adapt the areas of the city and the places where scooters are delivered in the morning” , He says.
The growing number of electric scooters in Vilnius is the goal of Europe’s leading transport platform to reduce the CO2 footprint of Bolt cars, traffic congestion in the city and promote micro-mobility.
“This season, with the announcement of the quarantine, scooters have also become an alternative to reach the required point without jeopardizing their own health and the health of those around them.” Although restrictions are easing, we want Vilnius residents to continue to travel safely and quickly. For all these reasons, we also adjust scooter rental rates. For example, we decided not to return the unlocking fee that was not applied during the quarantine, “emphasizes Eimantas Balta.
Hereafter, the first 5 minutes of driving will cost 22 cents each, and the remaining driving time will be half as cheap, just 11 cents each. So the longer the ride, the less it will come off. The maximum travel time has been extended: if necessary, the scooter will be available for up to 3 hours at a very favorable price. Vilnius scooters and city guests will travel on green scooters at the best price on the market so far.
