During the Olympic Games, the City of Paris together with Segway is deploying additional e-bike fleets to alleviate pressure on the city’s transport infrastructure. With an estimated 15 million additional people estimated to visit the city over the course of the games, the city’s transport system will come under great pressure. To help resolve this, Segway is sponsoring 10,000 free e-bike rides and making additional bike fleets available to visitors.

The e-bikes are anticipated to provide more convenient and green travel options to both tourists as well as residents over the course of the Games.

Since 2018, Segway has partnered with over 240 shared mobility operators around the world, including Tier-Dott. During the Paris Games, the Dott App provides access to free rides to registered users.

The initiative matches the general European trend toward low-carbon travel and green urban mobility.
