After a competitive process, Helbiz was selected as a new vendor
for Tampa’s micro-mobility program, replacing existing operators.
Initially, Helbiz will be permitted to launch 1,500 e-scooters,
equipped with sidewalk detection that uses onboard computer vision
and AI to make shared scooter rides safer. In addition to standing
e-scooters, Helbiz will also offer two different adaptive vehicles:
a three-wheeled sit-down scooter and a wheelchair attachment,
providing riders with a wider range of safe, accommodating, and
reliable modes of transportation.
In Miami Lakes, an area that Helbiz has been operating in since
2021, the company will be doubling and upgrading its fleet to
include the newest version of their e-bike, which features the
latest GPS technology that can identify no-ride zones and slow
riders down in designated areas. Each e-bike is equipped with a
Shimano 3-speed hub for better energy efficiency and a front basket
with a phone holder to protect small items while riding. Helbiz
will continue operating the existing e-scooter fleet there,
too.
In Flint, Helbiz will re-launch and expand its e-scooter and
e-bike fleet, partnering with Kuhmute, a multi-modal charging
network for micro-mobility. Additionally, Helbiz’s vehicles will
also be available at the University of Michigan-Flint campus
offering students and faculty safe, sustainable transportation
options.
“We’re thrilled to launch our newest electric vehicles and
continue expanding our presence across the U.S.,” said Salvatore
Palella, Helbiz CEO. “At Helbiz, we pride ourselves on being the
best partners to local governments, which means meeting each city’s
needs while prioritizing safety and accessibility. With each new
market, we build on our goal of changing how the world moves by
getting people out of their cars and onto electric micro-mobility
vehicles.”
