They have extended its e-scooter trial in Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Princes Risborough to support it's Climate Change and Air Quality Strategy by promoting sustainable low-carbon transport alternatives for shorter trips.
The e-scooter trial is managed at zero cost to Buckinghamshire Council as it’s run as a private business by Zipp Mobility.
Steven Broadbent, Cabinet Member for Transport, said:
“The trial has so far proved successful with a higher than expected take up. To date, more than 191,000 trips have taken place across the three trial areas.
“The extension of the trial will enable us and the DfT to gather additional usage data post-Covid, providing a better understanding of ‘normal’ use patterns and evidence about the safety, benefits and public perceptions of e-scooters.”
Steven added:
“I’d like to remind Zipp Mobility e-scooter users that they should only ride them on roads and cycleways. They are not allowed to be used on pavements. Any misuse of these e-scooters can be reported by emailing: bucks@zippmobility.com”
