Advantages of bike-sharing and e-moped-sharing

• You do not need to buy your own bicycle or e-moped. You can use the bike-sharing or e-moped-sharing scheme whenever you need it.

• You often can get closer to your destination by bike or e-moped than by car. You do not need to search for a parking spot.
• If you are coming from outside the city, you can often combine the train ride with the bike-sharing or e-moped-sharing scheme.
• The mopeds are electric. This is good for the environment.
• Cargo bikes are convenient for doing grocery shopping or taking an excursion with children. This means you no longer need a car. This is also good for the environment.

Parking
