IoScoot is celebrating its first anniversary. It’s been one year since the electric motorbike-sharing service was launched in Malta in 2018, introducing an innovative mobility solution to the Maltese islands. The service has become a popular way of travelling, with over 400 weekly rentals in the last two months.
IoScoot is first motorbike sharing service in Malta, operating through a pay-per-use platform and a fully electric fleet of 70 bikes, strategically stationed between St Julian’s and Valletta, including the University of Malta. IoScoot is a flexible, convenient and ecologically friendly alternative to private transport delivering quick and economical travel, reducing commuters’ carbon footprint.
Through the intermodal Meep travel app, the electric motorbikes can be easily located and activated on demand, without any subscription or contract.
Users simply need to register for the service on the Meep app, uploading their moped driving licence, which is validated within 24 hours. Through the Meep app, Tallinja Card holders can also link their account to IoScoot and pay for their rides with the credit on the Tallinja Card and enjoy a discounted rate of 20 cents per minute.
