Yo-Go has introduced a new urban transportation option in London: Neighbourhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). These bright yellow, four-wheeled electric buggies offer a unique alternative to traditional bike rentals.
Yo-Go's CEO Sam Bailey aims to reduce urban congestion by providing smaller, more efficient vehicles. The buggies feature solar panels for extended range and come fully insured with maintenance handled by the company.
Unlike Lime e-bikes, these NEVs must be returned to their original pickup location. The controlled rollout and specific user restrictions aim to prevent issues like vandalism seen in other bike-sharing schemes.
Industry experts suggest these buggies could become a common sight in London and other UK cities, offering a flexible transportation solution for urban residents.
