Leading urban mobility specialist Vmoto has completed a new deal with Uber’s delivery division, which will see its electric bikes and scooters offered for purchase, rent, or lease to couriers and food delivery riders across Europe. The agreement means Vmoto will supply its products to Uber partners in several European cities, to be used for transportation and logistics services via the Uber platform. Uber aims to transition 100,000 motorcycle couriers to electric mopeds or motorcycles across seven European markets by 2030.
Vmoto’s local partners will offer discounts, as well as maintenance and charging contracts, to couriers. Bikes will be made available through partners such as Zenion, Zoomo, and Ride Today. Discounted scooters, such as Vmoto’s CPx – the most popular electric bike in the UK – will be available in Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Lisbon, London, Madrid and Paris.
Nick Spilger, delivery emissions lead at Uber, said: “Uber’s mission is to help cities tackle air pollution and move toward a zero-emission future, and making it as effortless as possible for couriers to switch to electric is a crucial part of that. We’re proud to partner with Vmoto to help couriers get access to cleaner and more affordable vehicles.”
Vmoto MD Charles Chen said: “Vmoto is proud to partner with Uber to deliver advanced, integrated technological products and solutions. Through constant innovation and technological development, Vmoto is working towards a more sustainable, electric future, laying the groundwork for more advanced ways to manage electric fleets and delivery, including the utilisation of artificial intelligence to increase efficiency. Together, we are shaping a smarter, cleaner, and more connected world – in line with the global push for low-carbon urban transformation.”
