Users can download the Helbiz mobile app on iOS and Android to
instantly geolocate, rent and unlock e-scooters directly from their
smartphones with just a tap. The rate to rent an e-scooter is €1
for the initial unlock + €0.20 per minute. With a Helbiz
UNLIMITED subscription, users can take an unlimited number of
daily trips for a flat rate of €39.99 per month.
Helbiz has also been chosen to be the micro-mobility partner of
Extra Battiti, providing its scooters to the radio station. To
celebrate the launch, Elisabetta Gregoraci and Alan Palmieri hosted
Battiti Live on Radio Norba on June 25, which brought together top
Italian and international artists to perform at the Aragonese
Castle. The celebrations will continue with 15 additional shows
across Puglia.
“The city of Otranto is thrilled to welcome the sharing mobility
service offered by Helbiz, a leading company in the area of
intra-urban transport,” said Pierpaolo Cariddi, Mayor of
Otranto. “Urban cities are increasingly moving towards
sustainable and green shared mobility. It is very important to
educate citizens and visitors on the use of electric
transportation, such as e-scooters. In the summer months in
Otranto, micro-mobility has become a valuable aid for those without
their own means of transportation and wish to visit different areas
of the city in a quick and cost-efficient manner. I invite users to
follow all of the rules required to use the service.”
“We are proud to serve Otranto, a city that is rich in culture
and tourism, with a level of dynamism portrayed at each local
event. We look forward to our growing partnership with Extra
Battiti, the event that marked the beginning of summer and the
rebirth of Italian music moments,” said Matteo Tanzilli, Head of
Institutional Relations at Helbiz.
