Having launched its taxi-hailing service here last December, Bolt plans roll out its e-scooters to the Irish public.
European mobility platform Bolt is hoping to launch 10,000 of its carbon-negative e-scooters in Ireland. The roll-out would lead to an estimated 130 new jobs, the company said, across charging, maintaining and distributing the scooters.
The Estonian start-up introduced its taxi-hailing app in Ireland last December. Now, the company plans for Irish customers to have access to an integrated “multi-modal transport platform”, giving them the choice between a car, an e-scooter and an e-bike.
