Bolt launches scooter rental in Imperia, Italy!

We’re delighted to announce that starting today you can find our scooters in Italy — more specifically, in the beautiful coastal city of Imperia!

If you’re in Imperia and looking for affordable, safe and more sustainable means of transport to move around, look out for our green Bolt 4 electric scooters.

Bolt’s mission is to make urban travel more affordable and sustainable. Driving greater scooter adoption is key to that, helping cities improve air quality, reduce CO2 emissions and cut congestion.

Bolt scooters:

• are made of aluminium and are 100% recyclable and has a lifespan of over 60 months;
• are powered by hardware and software developed 100% in-house. This allows us to quickly source and repair 100% of scooter parts;
• can reach a maximum speed of 20 km/h;
• Bolt electric scooter has a range of up to 40 km on a single charge.

If you’re new to scooter riding, try our Beginner Mode — it will limit the top speed to 15 km/h. Once you feel more comfortable, you can switch back to the regular mode to get where you’re going faster.

There are two components that combine to form the final price:

• Unlock fee: 0.50 €
• Per-minute rate: 0.15 €.

With these prices, it means that getting, for example, from Villa Grock to Porto Maurizio will cost you just 3.35 €.

To start using the service, you need to download the Bolt app and tie your debit/credit card to your account. Once you set up your account, follow these simple steps:

• Open the app;
• Find the nearest scooter on the map;
• If you are a bit too far from the scooter, you can reserve it to make sure that no one else takes it;
• Scan the QR code to unlock the scooter and enjoy the ride!

Before you start the ride, we highly recommend checking the Safety tips that are a part of our Safety toolkit. You can access it by pressing the green shield icon on the screen. We also recommend that you bring and wear a helmet for your safety.

When you’re finished, park your scooter safely and end your ride in the app. You can check the allowed parking zones in the app. Places, where parking is not allowed, are marked red.
