The pilot project is implemented without the involvement of the budget.
Electric bicycles have become a worldwide trend as a new form of urban transport and are very popular in many world cities. Today similar projects are implemented in three major European cities: Madrid (Spain), Milan (Italy) and Copenhagen (Denmark).
For Muscovites a new kind of urban transport will be convenient in areas with elevation changes and for travel between metro stations. Ride on electric bikes will increase the accessibility and coverage of those areas that can be reached by bike. To get to the destination will now be much easier and faster.
The basis for electric bicycles in the framework of the pilot project are the standard bicycles of the network of city hire. The efforts of the Russian specialists have developed a set of electrical equipment and charging system on the bike rental stations. Special attention during development was paid to security issues.
