Spin, the micro-mobility subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, and Moovit, a leading Mobility as a Service (MaaS) provide, have announced a partnership in three European countries. This partnership enables Intel-owned Moovit users to find Spin e-scooters in the free Moovit app for more sustainable mobility alternatives.
The feature is now available in 23 cities in Spain, Germany and the UK.
Moovit will show its users in real-time where a Spin e-scooter is available nearby, including how long it will take to walk there, as well as battery range. Users will then be directed to the Spin app to hire the e-scooter and pay for it.
Moovit, which has served over 1 billion urban users around the world in 112 countries, offers its service in over 1,500 cities across Europe and the Middle East.
Steve Pyer, Spin Country Manager for UK & Ireland says: “We want more people to integrate Spin e-scooters into their daily journeys, be it commuting, running errands or for leisure because we know that this socially-distanced means of transport has the potential to replace solo car rides on short journeys and consequently to reduce congestion and improve air quality.” Steve added, “By showing availability in the Moovit app it makes it even easier for new users to discover public hire e-scooters and for existing users to become truly multi-modal travellers.”
Yovav Meydad, Moovit’s Chief Growth and Marketing Officer, adds: “Spin has become a desired mobility option for many people in Europe and we are excited to partner with them as cities move once again and commuters begin their return from COVID-19. Whether using Spin e-scooters for short trips or combining them with public transport, this partnership furthers our mission of making it easier to rely less on private cars and moving more freely through some of the most congested cities.”
Spin operates electric bikes and electric scooters on North American and European cities and campuses.
