Rethinking urban transport
Managing micromobility
![Street rental fees for micromobility](https://cities-and-airports.bolt.eu/static/caaa2b112fe64e965a8569f345d9ddb4/1e482/feature-1-desktop.webp)
Street rental fees for micromobility
- Provides cities with extra revenue — for infrastructure improvements or other transportation initiatives.
- Prevents operators from placing too many vehicles on the street, minimising costs.
- Encourages operators to take measures that result in maximum vehicle usage.
- Frees up public space by reducing idle electric scooters and bikes.
![Authorisations for private operators](https://cities-and-airports.bolt.eu/static/146e933a50d25ec4fbd49034a4ffc95d/1e482/feature-2-desktop.webp)
Authorisations for private operators
- Operators must submit a file showing their operational plans and compliance with all local regulations.
- Require operators to regularly share data so the municipality can monitor regulatory compliance.
- Introduce utilisation targets to manage fleet size, and encourage regular use of the service.
- Give a city more power to enforce local rules.
Tools to reshape city transport
![E-scooters](https://cities-and-airports.bolt.eu/static/0f20a35ec816bb398acd6ef53611a2ad/1e482/e-scooters-desktop.webp)
E-scooters
As the largest European scooter operator, we’re focused on delivering safe and sustainable micromobility operations.
Scooters complement public transport and help riders go about their daily tasks in a more sustainable way.
In many major European cities more than 30% of Bolt scooter trips begin and end within 100 metres of a public transport stop.
![E-bikes](https://cities-and-airports.bolt.eu/static/2c3d79766eadcf117d09f82c398e714e/1e482/e-bikes-desktop.webp)
E-bikes
Mostly built from easily recyclable materials like aluminium, steel, and plastic, Bolt’s electric bicycles are a more environmentally-friendly mode of transport.
Similarly to scooters, we encourage responsible usage of our e-bikes, and with our Safety Toolkit all of our electric bikes are limited to a speed of 25 km/h. We also recommend that riders wear a helmet.

Car sharing
Bolt Drive is a safe, convenient, and affordable solution that offers car-sharing of different vehicles such as electric cars, minivans, or SUVs.
Users receive all the advantages of owning a car without needing to buy one.
![Bolt application open on smartphone](https://cities-and-airports.bolt.eu/static/6e274f7f4e0ff1fd4caf246df39d32c1/1e482/multi-modal-travel-desktop.webp)
Multimodal travel
Bolt offers an integrated multimodal solution with all mobility services combined in a single app. You can also find Bolt's services on a number of European MaaS applications.
Users can reserve a Bolt Drive car and get to it using our electric scooters or e-bikes without needing to place multiple orders or change payment methods.

Walking
To make walking even more enjoyable, we've taken significant steps to integrate safety features into our products, such as:
- An ambient noise feature ↗ that emits a sound in areas with high footfall. This ensures that pedestrians can hear approaching e-scooters, and it is especially beneficial for people with visual impairments.
- Our AI-driven pavement detection system ↗ that prevents scooters from being ridden or parked on a pavement and that leaves more space for pedestrians.

Charging docks
Thanks to these docks, we’ve already eliminated 50-60 battery swap operations per week in Tallinn, Estonia.
They encourage better parking habits and contribute to the overall cleanliness of the cityscape.
Safety as a priority
Unique safety features
Innovative safety features, like our patented tandem riding prevention system, and a cognitive reaction test help to prevent riding under the influence of alcohol or other substances and raise awareness of its dangers.
Educating riders
We encourage responsible usage of e-vehicles to ensure the safety of riders and the wider public. Our Safety Toolkit allows riders to use a Beginner Mode, learn about local rules, and read safety instructions and tips.
Parking responsibly
We educate our users to park responsibly and encourage them to report bad examples they see on the streets. Additionally, our AI technology ↗ detects parking violations and shows riders how to park their scooters safely.
Sustainability
Sustainable operations
Sustainable practices power our processes. Using electric vehicles for internal operations, and renewable energy in our warehouses and offices are just two examples. We’re committed to bringing green transport options to cities and offsetting our CO2 emissions.
The highest environmental standards
We’re proud to be ISO 14001:2015 certified. We’re committed to enhancing our environmental management system, putting in place effective procedures that minimise our environmental impact.
Popularising greener transport
We actively work to reduce the number of short car trips in cities by encouraging the use of greener methods. We also incentivise users to opt for these modes through in-app messages and promotions, resulting in a up to 200% rise ↗ in e-scooter use.
We're here to help
