Liverpool, 20 December 2023: Over 1.5 million rides have been taken on a Voi e-scooter or e-bike in Liverpool in 2023, replacing over half a million car journeys, the micromobility company reports.

The amount of CO2 saved is the equivalent of 15 car trips around the world.

Jack Samler, Voi regional general manager UK, Ireland and France, said, “It’s been rewarding to work with our UK trial partners in providing safe, sustainable travel options to help create cleaner, healthier towns and cities.

“Our convenient and affordable e-scooters and e-bikes are helping to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in towns and cities by replacing short car trips and are helping people to be more active day to day.”

Together Voi riders across the UK clocked up 15 million miles in 2023.

In a recent user survey, 27% of UK users said they no longer use cars and 42% said they use cars less, in favour of e-scooters, showing good progress towards more sustainable urban transport.

This year Voi started operations in London and Cheltenham and Gloucester. It also operates in 10 other towns and cities in the UK, including Cambridge, Oxford, Portsmouth, Southampton, Northampton and Kettering.
