Following the successful deployment of 500 Helbiz e-scooters in
July of 2020, this launch will provide the community with
additional micro-mobility offerings to keep up with the increased
demand. Helbiz remains the only micro-mobility provider authorized
by the Municipality of Pescara and has seen more than 10,000
e-scooter rides with an average traveling distance of approximately
6.5km since the initial launch. This consistent use of Helbiz
e-scooters has also eliminated more than 1 million tons of CO2
during the past month alone. This highlights the local community’s
significant shift towards sustainable mobility.
Users can download the MiMoto mobile app to instantly geolocate,
rent and unlock e-mopeds directly from their smartphones with just
a tap. The rate to rent is €0.26 per minute, €4.90 per hour or
€19.90 for the whole day. Each MiMoto e-moped is approved for two
passengers and comes equipped with two helmets of different sizes,
sanitizing perfumers, disposable hygienic caps and a sanitizing
foam for self-drying helmets.
“This launch of MiMoto e-mopeds supports our continued
commitment to enhance modern mobility and reduce pollution, while
benefiting our citizens and the social and economic system of our
city,” said Carlo Masci, Mayor of Pescara. “We have been focused on
this vision to become an eco-sustainable system since the
beginning. The new MiMoto electric scooters are now available
throughout the city and we welcome citizens to ride them safely and
with their common sense. Just as the shared scooter offerings have
changed the face of our city, we are sure that this will be equally
successful. I thank Helbiz and the Councilor for Mobility who have
been committed to this mutual goal.”
“As a contemporary city, Pescara has enjoyed the implementation
of e-scooters and I am convinced that the community will also
welcome the zero-emission electric mopeds with great enthusiasm,”
declares Luigi Albore Mascia, Councilor for Mobility of Pescara.
"Sustainable mobility is the most important tool that our
administration is using to improve the quality of life of citizens.
Over the course of twenty-four months, we have created a virtuous
system that will reward us in the years to come.”
“Our services continue to achieve extraordinary results and
prove that implementing micro-mobility offerings is key to
advancing sustainable transport,” said Matteo Tanzilli, Head of
Institutional Relations at Helbiz in Italy. “Pescara is one of our
busiest cities and its sustainability conscious population rents
our vehicles daily. We look forward to providing the citizens and
tourists of Pescara with an additional zero-impact, micro-mobility
sharing service. This launch underscores our commitment to support
the city of Pescara in its increasingly green approach. We are
thrilled to work hand in hand with the Mayor and the Councilor for
Mobility to advance their vision for the city.”
