Voi is deploying a fleet of 100 shared e-bikes Oxford, UK.
These vehicles will join the Voi e-scooters already operational in the city.
The e-bikes can be hired and returned to the existing e-scooter parks around Oxford. They can be used by anyone over the age of 16 who creates a Voi account.
Unlike with the e-scooters, users do not have to produce a driving licence to rent the e-bikes.
Councillor Liz Leffman, leader of Oxfordshire County Council, said:Offering more opportunities for people to move around Oxford easily is very welcome. I’m very excited that the city is now benefitting from public bike hire that can be easily accessed and presents the chance to use e-bikes in city travel without cost being an obstacle.
The new vehicles are equipped with automatic gears that adjust to riding conditions, a low step-through frame and adjustable unisex seats suitable for all heights.
They also feature a dual kickstand to ensure the bikes remain upright when not in use.
Furthermore, to enhance safety, their design incorporates high-grip tyres, a powerful braking system, front and rear lights which switch on automatically when the bike is unlocked, reflectors and an easy-to-use bell.
The bikes are powered by a swappable battery which is also compatible with Voi e-scooters.
James Bolton, general manager for Voi UK, said:We are sure people in Oxford will find our e-bikes a great addition to transport options in the city.
We’ve had brilliant feedback from riders when we’ve launched this new e-bike in other locations in the UK and abroad.
