The expansion of the Voi e-scooter scheme into the rest of South Bristol - more than two years after it launched in the rest of the city - has been hailed by the city’s transport chiefs as something that will ‘boost transport options’ for the people there.
Voi Technologies will switch on e-scooters parked up in a new wide area of South Bristol from today, Tuesday, December 6. The scooters are now available to be ridden from Withywood and Hartcliffe on one side of South Bristol, across to Hengrove, Stockwood and Whitchurch, as well as the outer parts of Brislington, for the first time.
Parking zones have been set up on pavements and public spaces across that area of South Bristol, and the invisible GPS barrier which disabled the e-scooters if anyone tried to ride them across the A4174 ring road across South Bristol has been switched off.
