The electric scooters Cooltra, Cityscoot, and Yego will once again be in free-floating service for the next five years.
On Thursday, July 6, 2023, the Paris City Hall officially announced the three winners of the electric scooter public tender in the capital. The contract lasts five years and will be shared among five different operators.
Different prices for the same usage
It costs between 27 cents and 33 cents per minute to use them, compared to 28 cents for scooters, which will disappear on September 1st.
Yego offers a different per-minute rate. The minute starts at 25 cents and can go up to 38 cents depending on the plan you choose. This is a higher rate than the first operator.
Cityscoot offers a per-minute plan that can go up to 48 cents per minute. The lowest available rate with a plan is 30 cents per minute.
A contract until 2028
The official announcement of the operators took place yesterday, and the contract is valid for five years. However, starting October 2nd, 2,500 electric scooters will be deployed per operator. A total of 7,500 free-floating vehicles in the capital. Starting in 2026, this number will increase to 3,000. This increase in electric scooters is in preparation for the complete phase-out of electric scooters for which the ban will occur on September 1st.
