Paris to launch electric moped rental system

Paris - Following a successful test phase, the people of Paris will soon be able to use 1,000 rentable electric scooters to commute through the city's streets.

The programme is called Cityscoot and is part of efforts to counter Paris' heavy traffic.
 
Following the already successful Velib bicycle rental concept, it could set an example for polluted cities worldwide. Christophe Nadjovski from Paris' transport administration thinks Cityscoot will "make a contribution towards combatting air pollution."
