Users will be required to send a photo to show the bike is correctly parked
Fifty new Voi e-bikes are coming to the streets of Northampton alongside the Voi scooters already in place. West Northamptonshire Council said it was "pleased" to announce that the town will be one of four locations across the UK which will have the e-bikes for hire.
People will first need to download the Voi app and create an account. However, there is no need to do this by anyone already using Voi e-scooters.Residents can find the nearest bike using the app, scan a QR code to unlock a bike and then end the ride at the end of their journey. They will then be required to send a photo to show the bike is correctly parked.
He said: “We’re delighted that Northampton will become one of four locations to have the innovative e-bikes, offering a sustainable way for people to travel. We will continue to work with Voi to ensure the safety of riders, pedestrians and motorists, and ensure both e-scooters and e-bikes provide a safe and sustainable way for people to get from A to B.”
Voi advises e-bike cyclists and e-scooter riders to wear helmets for each journey. Riders can use day or monthly passes to ride both e-scooters and e-bikes.
