E-scooters with swappable battery technology will be deployed in Dubai across different areas
TIER, the leading German micro-mobility provider, has recently launched its first fleet of industry-leading e-scooters in Dubai after being selected as a leading service provider by the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA).
The company is the first provider in the Middle East to use swappable battery technology, this positions TIER at the industry forefront in terms of sustainability, since the need to transport scooters to warehouses every day, back and forth for charging is obsolete and empty batteries can be swapped on-site from the local team.
“Sustainability is a core value of our company and we are excited to be selected as the top choice by the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) to support them with their journey for a greener tomorrow, by allowing residents and visitors to move around the city in a more sustainable, convenient and lively way – a new era in urban travel,” affirmed Lawrence Leuschner, CEO and co-founder, TIER.
The e-scooters can be easily accessed via the TIER mobile app – which will operate on a 24/7 basis – and be strategically located at various key locations around Dubai; Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) and Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown, with other planned locations in the future.
Riders will have the option to use ‘pay-as-you-go’ offered at a rate of AED 1 per minute of usage, or opt for a subscription model which is ideal for frequent commuters. Payments can be made through PayPal, Visa or MasterCard.
