Liverpool City Bike scheme to be replaced by Voi amid £300k annual losses

Liverpool's City Bike rental scheme is to be scrapped and replaced by a new initiative run by Swedish firm Voi, which currently operates e-scooters in the city.

A report to the council's cabinet next week will seek permission to close the current City Bike scheme that launched in the city in 2014. The scheme allows people to rent bikes from specific locations around the city using an app.

It is set to be approved by a new bike rental project from Voi, which has been running a successful e-scooter project in Liverpool in recent years. The same cabinet report, if approved, will extend the current e-scooter trial in Liverpool until May 31 2024 after the government allowed further trials.
