Spanish micromobility company CityBike Global has announced an agreement with the municipality of Stockholm to implement one of Europe’s largest city e-bike sharing services in the Swedish capital.
CityBike Global has chosen connected e-bike sharing company Vaimoo to supply more than 5,100 smart e-bikes, all of which are developed and produced in Italy and connected to CityBike’s technology platform.
Each Vaimoo e-bike features a recycled aluminium frame and fast swappable, large capacity battery. Available all year round, 24 hours a day, in station-based mode, the e-bikes will be connected to a flexible management system that can be integrated with existing systems and reduce urban clutter by enabling virtual stations where vehicles can be parked after rental.
Jordi Cabanas, CEO, CityBike Global, said: “We are proud of being selected as partner by the city of Stockholm to run this strategic service, which will provide an alternative active mobility to the citizens of Stockholm.”
The Stockholm e-bike is a version of the CES 2021-awarded VAIMOO e-bike, specifically adapted to meet city mobility requirements.
“This agreement brings Vaimoo e-bikes into another world capital of cycling,” said Matteo Pertosa, CEO and founder of Vaimoo. ”Partnering with CityBike Global in the Stockholm project is a great pride both personal and for the whole Vaimoo team, constantly committed to the design and implementation of complete and easily integrable sharing systems for an alternative, sustainable and inclusive mobility.“
