Voi calls for e-scooter law 'clarity' to secure industry’s future

E-scooter firm Voi, which operates hire schemes across the West of England, has called on the government to introduce new laws to secure the future of the industry.

The Swedish tech firm is the largest operator in England with 18 schemes in place across the UK, with its biggest market being in Bristol, where its service spans almost the entire city.

The company said nearly 1.2 million people across the country had taken 21.5 million rides on its scooters since its first scheme was launched two-and half-years ago, replacing more than eight million car journeys, generating more than £50m across local economies in the cities it operates in.
