I love the Voi e-scooters. There, I’ve said it.
It’s a controversial stance in Bristol these days. Every time we write about Voi’s trial rental scheme, which launched last October, there is a flurry of comments – not all printable – from people who want rid.
There are legitimate concerns, particularly over the way some scooters have been left blocking pavements. But on the whole, social media might suggest they've been less popular than they really are. It’s clear there are plenty of people who really enjoy zooming round on the scooters. Just walk outside on a weekend – they’re everywhere. Which, it seems, is a large part of the irritation for the naysayers.
