ROMA – A fleet of brand new scooters for Milan. The rental company decided it Helbiz, which in this way will find itself satisfying not only an increasingly numerous and transversal user, but also the provisions of the decree law issued on the subject. An example of all: the 750 scooters distributed in the Lombard capital are equipped with front and rear arrows, essential for everyone’s safety. Also new are the battery, now with greater autonomy, the built-in cell phone holder and the LED lights under the platform that indicate the state of charge.
But that is not all. The new scooters arrived in Milan also have a sturdier fender and double brake, with front shock absorbers for the benefit of comfort, while the new generation IOT system inserted inside the scooter allows greater precision in locating the GPS. The livery color changes: blue has been chosen instead of black and white, as already happened in the United States.
“Milan was the first city in Italy to welcome us and over the years it has become one of the European metropolises par excellence, with which to share an ever-increasing attention to the issues of sustainability and citizen well-being”, comments Matteo Mammì, CEO of Helbiz Emea . “With the renewal of the fleet we want to thank the Milanese for the trust they have placed in us and give a clear message of the commitment we intend to carry out to offer an increasingly safe and innovative service.”
Helbiz, new safety measures on scooters
Finally, the collaboration between Telepass and Helbiz has also been renewed: it will be possible to continue to rent the scooter and pay the cost of the rides with Telepass Pay, the multifunction app that also allows the payment of blue stripes, fuel, car tax and much more.
“I am happy with the foresight of the city in continuing to invest in new mobility”, explains Aldo Agostinelli, Chief Consumer Sales & Marketing Officer of Telepass. “Helbiz was among the first to join our Telepass Pay circuit and we are happy that the its growth path. Our mission is to make life easier for people on the move, through a new mobility experience and the partnership with Helbiz travels in this direction. We are therefore aligned with the urban electric mobility player that contributes to making Milan more liveable, sustainable and less clogged with traffic. ” (fp)
