Starting this Thursday, August 31st, it will no longer be possible to use free-floating scooters in the capital; however, an alternative is already being offered.
On April 2nd, Parisians voted 90% against free-floating scooters in the city. The total ban is scheduled for September 1st, which is in two days. But for the past few days, operators have already begun removing scooters from the streets of the City of Light. However, there is already an alternative available.
What does this new alternative consist of?
Company Volt has launched, starting Wednesday, August 30th, a system for renting electric scooters in the capital. This is a way to comply with the instructions issued by the City of Paris. Users will rent the scooter for a certain period at a designated location. They will then have to return it to a dedicated spot, specifically the Dualtron Store network. The scooters used will be Dualtron POP Single with a 52V 25-amp motor. The company specifies in its press release that it will develop an app to locate rental stations, check scooter availability, pay for rides, and track the route.
29 euros per day to rent a scooter
The rental cost will be 19 euros for half a day, whether in the morning or the afternoon. For a full day, the price will be 29 euros, and for a week, it will be 175 euros – for 7 days of rental –.
The current rate is not available by the minute, as seen with the various operators present in Paris.
