Voi offers free e-scooter rides

Swedish micromobility company Voi are offering residents of Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, Northampton, Oxford, Portsmouth and Southampton the chance to take advantage of a 30 minutess of free e-scooter use, beginning today and running until 30 June. 

E-scooters can help to reduce air pollution in cities by replacing short bus and taxi trips, and have been shown to cut commuting time by 47%, helping to reduce congestion as well.

Jack Samler, Voi general manager UK, Ireland and France, said, “We aim to transform how people move in cities, freeing us from car dependency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, working all the time to reduce the environmental impact of our value chain and operations in the process.

“This Clean Air Day we hope to really encourage that shift and that’s why we’re offering free e-scooter use, not only to help reduce air pollution, but to encourage new riders to have a go and see how easy and convenient it is to make the switch.”

Barbara Stoll, Director of the Clean Cities Campaign said: “Cities need to embrace all solutions that can liberate our urban environments from the clutches of traffic pollution and car dependency. As part of a wider set of solutions and properly regulated, shared e-scooters can become the wheels of change propelling our cities towards a more sustainable future as they can provide viable alternatives to car trips, taking cars off the streets and contributing to reducing toxic air pollution.”

The offer is valid for 15-30 June, but must be redeemed by 28 June. (Use the code CLEANAIRDAY23)
