Helbiz Inc. said its Wheels sit-down scooters have been
integrated with Google Maps, with maps showing nearby devices with
estimated cost and travel time.
Meanwhile, Chief Executive Salvatore Palella tweeted on Monday
about workers at Alphabet Inc.'s Google using the scooters. He said
Google markets the product to employees, and those who use Wheels
to commute are eligible for reimbursement of up to 100%, with
service available in New York, Austin and Seattle.
Helbiz previously said it was in talks with "several well-known
tech companies" to offer Wheels vehicles on their campuses.
Helbiz, whose operations include renting electronic scooters,
bikes and mopeds, said last week that it would cut costs and reduce
its workforce. Also said week, Mr. Palella increased his stake by 4
million shares to 9.6 million.
Shares were flat at 27 cents. Volume was more than 65.1 million
shares, compared with a 65-day average of 8.9 million.
