Mobility engineering company Superpedestrian has expanded its e-scooter service in Europe with the introduction of nine new cities.
The company, born out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), said it was on track to roll out its Link scooters to 30 European cities by the end of the year.
In March alone, Superpedestrian e-scooters began operating in three new cities, including Aprilia and Turin in Italy and Malaga in Spain. They were joined by Palermo in early April, and later that month Vienna.
Further launches recently took place in Stockholm, Lisbon and several Spanish towns. Seven new locations are due in Italy before the end of June.
“This achievement is confirmation that Superpedestrian’s shared e-scooters are now really taking off in Europe,” said Superpedestrian, vice president EMEA, Haya Douidri.
“Adding nine locations in just a few weeks, with a further seven to come by the end of June, and serving 24 European cities less than one year after entering the market, are tremendous achievements.
“It’s proof that our market-leading safe and smart e-scooters, with their robust design and advanced self-diagnostic and self-protection technologies, are ideally suited to Europe’s cities, riders and pedestrians.”
As it expands its European operations, Superpedestrian said it is establishing a team of operations managers, most of them local hires, and a network of local businesses for fleet management support.
