at First it seemed that the black E-Scooters of the Bird from the winter break. However, upon closer Inspection, it becomes clear: This is not the Companion of the California-based company.
The black electric Scooter with eye-catching white inscription come from a new Player on the Zurich market. The gorge has secretly placed “This is not a Scooter” in the past few days, his rental Scooters and a App.
Premiere at the Zurich streets
The time is well chosen. The Scooters in the place of the deer are gone currently all of the streets, Lime has withdrawn its 500 light green specimens due to a software error, the to dangerous Falls. The 60 specimens of Bird are because of the bad weather currently in the Garage.
In contrast to Lime, and Bird, in which the Station of Zurich is only a further step in the global Expansion, “This is not a Scooter” so far, nothing is known. How Torge bark Holtz, managing Director of the Swiss branch, the Portal Watson.ch stated that Zurich is the world’s first city, in the company rental offers Scooters.
Further Details, such as where the headquarters of the company is located, he does not want to reveal. The Not-A-Scooter-App registered to a company in Luxembourg. The goal was to be in Switzerland in a number of cities and to conquer the European market, says bark Holtz.
eco-friendly way than the competition
it is Clear: “This is not a Scooter”, is the most environmentally-friendly provider of rental scooters on the square in Zürich. In the evening, the Companion Collect and redistribute in the Morning is a small, battery-powered load vehicles are used, as in the test this week was to be observed in the Zurich Seefeld.
The competition from Lime and Bird prides itself while in order to load your scooter with green power. However, the daily fine distribution in the Districts is made car with diesel load. So can employees of the existing Scooter distributors late in the evening at neighbourhood foot paths – sometimes in driving ban – in the “fleet management”, where they provide noise and Soot emissions and the corresponding Trouble.
It turns automatically to the question of whether the use of an electric scooters can be ecological, if it is assumed that the route you laid back, left the car at the end of the day a heavy load, brings the smart, lightweight scooter for use the next day back in the city centre.
Large load area
However, for companies such as Lime, which give not only Scooter, but also to the bicycles, electric mini truck, as you “used This is not a Scooter”, because of the small cargo area tend not to question. In the case of the Social institutions and enterprises (SEB) in the city of Zurich, which leads to the maintenance of the municipal lender Züri bike, is also used on diesel van with a large cargo area.
