Micromobility start-up Dott will join Tier Mobility in the London e-scooter trials, launching this June.
Following a four-month-long tender procedure, Dott said it was “thrilled” to bring its e-scooters to the capital.
It is set to launch up to 6,600 e-scooters in London over the 12-month trial period. It also plans to bring its e-bikes to the capital in the summer.
Henri Moissinac, CEO of Dott, reflected on the opportunity to operate in London: “We’re delighted to win the London tender, and this feels like just the beginning for Dott in the UK.
“We are proud to be a part of the trial and grateful to the TfL and London councils for their trust. We believe our success is down to our utmost respect for Earth and its inhabitants, and we can’t wait to bring micromobility to the people of London.”
The trial aims to determine whether e-scooters are a viable part of London’s greener and healthier transport options. It forms part of a wider approach by Transport for London (TfL), London boroughs and the UK government’s to drive sustainable zero-emission forms of transport.
Dott added it ensures a recyclable process from beginning to end, including swappable battery design and 100% renewable energy logistics, as well as in-house repair and reuse.
