As a part of its commitment to providing a carbon-neutral mobility service, European micro-mobility service provider Voi has partnered with California-based Biliti Electric, a manufacturer of electric three-wheelers, to become the first e-scooter UK company to trial electric three-wheelers.
The business will move around Bristol on Biliti’s Taskman electric three-wheeler to perform maintenance and service tasks like battery changes.
To support on-street maintenance within the city’s new Clean Air Zone, which includes over 130 conveniently located e-scooter parking spots, the partnership will see the vehicle integrated into Voi’s stockroom vehicle fleet.
Since it started operating in 2020, Voi has finished nearly 8 million trips, creating it one of the largest and most popular e-scooter programs in the UK and throughout Europe. The Taskman will be able to easily navigate around the city and tackle Bristol’s cobbled roads thanks to the E-scooters max range of 110 miles (177 km), a maximum speed of just 25 mph (40 kmph), small design, and a comfortable ride.
Emma Hughes, Partnerships Manager, UK & Ireland at Voi, said “We are delighted to be the first e-scooter company to partner with Biliti Electric as it recognizes both companies’ industry-leading vision of creating cities free of pollution and congestion. While this is an unusual sight on the streets of the UK, we will be putting the Biliti Taskman ‘tuk-tuk’ through its paces as part of our commitment to continually innovating and finding new solutions to improve our service without harming the environment.”
Rajarshi Rakesh Sahai, CEO, EMEA at Biliti Electric, said “We are glad to be partnering with Voi in electrifying their operation fleets. Our mission in Europe is to help companies like Voi in mitigating their emissions, with our clean and green ‘L2 Electric’ vehicles that lend themselves perfectly to the varying operational tasks, branding, and community engagement. Biliti Electric’s solutions provide unmatched maneuverability, cost and CO2 efficiency, and durability as a true replacement to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles.”
