Helbiz Company Wheels to Launch Long-Term Electric Scooter Rentals in DC

Wheels, a subsidiary of the renowned micro-mobility operator, Helbiz (NASDAQ: HLBZ), is making waves with its unique sit-down scooter. Known for its ease of use and comfort, Wheels has now extended its long-term rental option to the market in Washington, D.C. This move allows riders in the region to rent their own sit-down scooter for personal use, adding a new dimension of convenience and mobility to their lifestyle.

“Washington, D.C. is a city that is constantly on the move and features a good base of functional infrastructure to support ridership,” said Marco McCottry, Head of Long Term Rentals at Helbiz. “Wheels’ sit-down scooters are one of a kind and their ease of use allows for quick adoption and flexibility in many different commuting scenarios. We see them used for a myriad of reasons in NYC and believe they’ll be equally useful in Washington D.C.”

“This expansion of Wheels’ long term rental business to Washington, D.C. reflects our goal of using our resources to expand the vehicle’s reach,” said Helbiz CEO Salvatore Palella. “We will continue to expand on existing partnerships, like Uber Eats, to further grow value in the device and company they built to date.”

Starting in January, the subscription will cost $129.99 per month and can be canceled anytime after return of the vehicle. To rent the device, visit https://takewheels.com/long-term-rentals/.
