Two new electric scooter operators in Toulouse
Two new companies will offer a self-service electric scooter service in Toulouse. This news comes a few weeks after the departure of the Indigo Weel company.
Self-service electric scooter rental is coming back to Toulouse soon. It’s been a few weeks since the Indigo Weel company left the pink city. The town hall of Toulouse has just announced that two companies have won the call for expressions of interest launched in June 2021.
The two companies Yego and Felyx selected
In a press release, the town hall explains that it wishes “to authorize the establishment of a self-service electric scooter rental service, complementary to the public transport offer”. This approach is part of the objective of “allowing everyone to move easily while preserving air quality”.
The town hall then launched a call for expressions of interest (AMI) in June 2021, after several requests from operators. This call made it possible to set a framework for “precise intervention, particularly on compliance with parking rules”. The two companies selected are You go and Felyx. “Each person will be able to operate 300 scooters and will pay an annual fee of 50 euros per vehicle, allowing them to park them on the road”, specifies the town hall of Toulouse.
Commissioning is scheduled for next spring.
Indigo Weel leaves Toulouse after the fire at its premises
A major fire destroyed the operator’s premises in Colomiers. With this disaster, Indigo Weel lost its stock of lithium batteries. It was after this event, which occurred in mid-December 2021, that the company decided to definitively cease its activities in the Toulouse conurbation. Indigo Weel thus puts an end to a service which will have lasted three years. Some 500 bicycles and 600 scooters were in service in the Pink City. They were used by about 30,000 people.
