Alongside cars, bikes, scooters and transit, the addition of e-mopeds means residents in Paris will have access to more shared mobility options than any other city in the world.

The partnership between French start-up, Cityscoot, and Uber was born out of a mutual belief that mobility should be shared to relieve congestion in city centres and reduce the impact of transport on climate change. It is the first time Uber has offered e-mopeds on its app anywhere in the world, and is another step towards Uber's goal to become a one-stop shop for all transportation needs.

Combined with the recently announced integration of public transit, the addition of Cityscoot e-mopeds means the French capital will become home to Uber's largest offering of mobility options around the world. As Uber quickly becomes the operating system for everyday life, Parisians can now replace their car with a range of mobility options spanning cars, scooters, bikes, public transport and now e-mopeds in just a few taps of their smartphone.

Billy Guernier, Uber's Head of New Mobility Platform, said: “​We are delighted to find new ways for people to move around without the need to own a car. The integration of Cityscoot in the Uber app shows how we can become a one stop-shop for all your mobility needs while giving Cityscoot the opportunity to reach new customers. We are proud to help a local player - leader on its market and recognised as a national champion by French government - grow faster and further expand in Europe.”

Bertrand Fleurose, CEO, Cityscoot, said : “Our partnership with Uber complements their offer and allows us to get further visibility among their wide rider-base. With the convenience and ease of use of our e-mopeds, I trust this will result in additional trips. The strength of the Uber platform will contribute to our expansion in France and beyond, and will boost our growth.”

With the Cityscoot option in the Uber App, users will instantl​y be able to locate and book one of the 4,000 available e-mopeds. Cityscoot e-mopeds will continue to be offered at the same pricing of 29 cts/minute, payment being automatically managed on the Uber app. Alongside cars, scooters and bikes, the option will be featured on the home screen and in the tab.

Uber, JUMP and Cityscoot services complement each other both in terms of usage and pricing, allowing riders to access a range of options adapted to their needs.
