A new type of e-scooter will be rolled out across the city today in a major change for road users.
Europe’s leading e-scooter operator, Voi, will launch its new model, the Voiager 5 (V5), on Tuesday, which comes new and improved features as part of the company's mission to become carbon positive by 2030. The trial of e-scooters in Liverpool has been popular, although there were some concerns raised about safety, with changes made to the scheme.
Voi said safety remains its top priority, with the e-scooter company recently announcing a partnership with Lazarillo, an app that improves accessibility for blind and visually-impaired people. The company said it has also launched a new safety campaign “Let’s get it right” to continue to educate riders to follow the rules of the road and ride safely.
