After a competitive process, Helbiz was selected as a new vendor for the micro-mobility program in Alexandria, VA. The company will also expand its program in Arlington, VA, to include e-bikes in addition to its original fleet of scooters. These will be the first markets in the D.C. area to offer this bike model, featuring the latest GPS technology to identify no-ride zones and slow riders down in designated areas.

The lightweight model is equipped with a Shimano 3-speed hub for better energy efficiency and an enclosed front basket with a phone holder to protect small items while riding. In addition, each Helbiz e-bike is equipped with a secure lock system. Riders can easily lock the Helbiz e-bike by inserting the cable lock pin into the front wheel compartment with no bike rack necessary.
