Cities are places for people to live and enjoy their lives with family and friends and not a place for still-standing cars. Nowadays cars and buses are competing with us and have substituted our happy hours by waiting in the traffic clogged cities.

But here in some of the European countries we can see people independently choosing e-scooters to commute. One such popular e-scooter is Voi. A Swedish product but could be seen in many countries like Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France,Spain and many more.

Whether it’s a tourist in jeans or a businessman in suit or a student with books, anyone can run on Voi. I have come across many students picking up Voi wherever they’re left at and heading towards university or to meet their friends. Voi have no designated travel lane and can move quickly alongside pedestrians or cyclists.

How fun is driving on Voi?

Users keep one hand on the handle bar and they control the scooter with two wheels like a skateboard with their feet by shifting their weight. All these makes this the best choice for convenient travelling.

You can download the Voi app and create an account of yours, it will show the nearest available scooter in the app. Once you find it, you can unlock it with the app when standing next to it. Then its simple, just step on the board, hold the handle bars and you are good to go to your desired destination. Once you reach your destination end your trip in the app .

The body is cast in a single piece of 5 mm high grade aluminium and it has got two wheels and a kickstand to prevent the e-scooter from falling when parked.

What’s next in line?

Advanced version of Voi has got IOT telematics unit intergrated into the body of the scooter. Navigation support, alerts and notification which will avoid the riders to look in to their phones often.

Next, Voi cargo is a three wheel electric cargo bike that caters many riders who have to move bulky loads from one place to another or manage moving heavy groceries or even can give a good ride to their children.

How does Voi fit into this transformation?

“Ride-share” and “Scooter- share” are certainly buzzwords of the millennial.

Waiting in traffic will now be a thing of past with these super cool vehicle-Voi. It has created an alternate option for transportation that can take you to your place of choice. Voi allows people to move freely in urban environments. These kind of electric skate board scooters are on a mission to provide an alternative to public transportation and ride-share commuting, avoiding traffic jams and waiting for public transports. It has started shaping cities free from congestion, noise and pollution. By using these kind of vehicles you can move towards the future cities where fossil fuels will not be a part of the equation.

We have damaged our planet enough, now lets try to contribute to a city free from pollution and a more sustainable society. Let’s make a difference together by choosing more sustainable mobility alternatives just like riding on Voi.
