Balashikha became the first city where charging and rental points for electric city bikes from Velobike appeared. So far, 7 power plants are in operation, but their number will grow, and stations will appear in other cities of the Moscow region.
The Department of Transportation shared a very interesting lifehack on how to ride electric bicycles and other metropolitan transportation without time and number of ride restrictions. To do this, you need to subscribe to MultiTransport Velo in the Moscow Metro application (Google Play and App Store).
Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow in the Moscow Government for Transport Issues:
— The development of bicycle rental is personally supported by the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, so every year the network expands and becomes more convenient. Today bike rental has been launched in the Moscow region. Balashikha has become the first city in the region where everyone can use this service. Cycling can be a great way to get to the right places: home, the park or the train station. If the rent is in high demand, it may appear in other cities of the Moscow region by 2023.
- The Ministry of Transport of Moscow has found a way to unload the roads of the capital from trucks.
- “Behind the wheel” can now be read in Telegram.
