In addition to its electric shared scooters, GO Sharing now also offers 240 electric shared bikes in Rotterdam. The expansion is made possible by an investment of โฌ50m. The shared transport company has also started testing with cars and will soon add them to its multimodal offering.
The e-bikes are a healthy and sustainable alternative for trips in the city and the last-mile to final destinations in the centre. GO Sharing will soon be introducing shared cars and thus supporting the journey from A to B, also between regions.
The e-bikes can be found and reserved via the GO Sharing app. The user pays โฌ0.18 per minute and โฌ0.15 per minute to park the e-bike. The e-bikes of GO Sharing have a range of up to 60 kilometers. The batteries are replaced by GO Sharing’s Powerrangers – employees who drive around in electric vans filled with charged batteries – as soon as they threaten to run out.
The electric shared bicycles are part of the multimodal offer with which the company wants to support door-to-door travel, also between regions, with shared transport.
CEO Raymon Pouwels explains: “In our mission to replace vehicle ownership with shared mobility, supporting the door-to-door journey is crucial. Even when you travel to another city you want the same convenience as having your own vehicle. You can pick up a shared scooter or bike within a three-minute walk. Travel to a Mobility Hub that we are introducing together with Q-Park for a shared car or to a station to travel to another region. There, you take a shared scooter or e-bike to your final destination. All through one app and at a rate that makes owning a vehicle expensive.”
