When Council was assessing e-scooter providers, one of the things we considered were environmental impacts.
Environmentally friendly features of the e-scooters include:
- Batteries are charged using 100% renewable energy
- Operation of the e-scooters has been 100% carbon neutral operation since launch
- E-scooters are made with 99% recyclable materials
- The e-scooters have a a fully modular design - all 130 components of each e-scooter are replaceable and repairable to reduce waste (rather than needing to replace the whole scooter)
- Once an e-scooter has reached the end of its useful life, 100% of its parts are diverted away from landfill through partnerships with Ecocycle, and subsidiaries Recycal and Ecobatt.
