Dutch company Hopper has introduced an electric scooters eco friendly taxi service to the streets of Amsterdam. Their practise is to use electric scooters rather than cars providing a cheap and environmentally-friendly form of transportation.
Hopper scooters are intended to be quicker than a taxi car service, as they can weave in and out of stationary traffic to decrease waiting times. Every ride has a flat rate of EUR 2.50 regardless of the distance. Although the service only runs in the city centre and South World Trade Centre – RAI Southern areas of Amsterdam.
The company claims that electric scooters produce 68 percent less carbon emissions than a traditional moped scooter. The scooters can be flagged down in the street, booked over the telephone or via the website and are operational from 8am till 20:00 Monday–Friday.
The service is currently only running in Amsterdam, but the founders have plans to extend it to The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht within the next few months.
