Bolt launches electric bike-sharing service in Paris

·2 min read

Like other ride-hailing companies, Bolt has been suffering from the coronavirus-related lockdown and economic downturn around the world. But the company is trying to find another revenue stream by launching electric bikes in Paris. Bolt plans to launch a similar service in other European capitals this year.

For the past couple of weeks, the only bike-sharing service that has been operating in Paris is Vélib’, the public bike-sharing service based on docked bikes and electric bikes. Many private companies — Gobee.bike, Obike, Ofo, Mobike — have tried to compete with Vélib’ but they’ve all failed so far.

The most recent example is Jump, Uber’s micromobility subsidiary. Following a financial transaction with Lime, Jump has removed all its bikes from the streets of Paris, London, Rome, Brussels and more. Those electric bikes now belong to Lime, but Lime hasn’t relaunched the service yet (if it ever gets relaunched).

Lime closes acquisition of Jump assets in Europe as Jump bikes and scooters disappear

But it doesn’t mean bikes aren’t popular. The public bike-sharing service in Paris is even reaching record highs these days. Let’s see if it means that people are willing to give Bolt’s e-bikes a try.

In addition to ride-hailing and scooters, you’ll be able to access the bike-sharing service from the same Bolt app. Like other free-floating vehicles, you can unlock a bike by scanning a QR code.

When it comes to pricing, Bolt is trying to make its service as cheap as possible to attract its first users. There won’t be any unlock fee and it’ll cost €0.10 per minute. It’s still unclear how much it’s going to cost after the launch phase.

Vélib’ still feels more attractive when it comes to pricing. It costs €2 to rent an e-bike for up to 30 minutes, or €8.30 per month to rent as many e-bikes as you want in a given month. With Bolt, you pay €2 for a 20-minute ride — and that’s without any unlock fee.

Bolt has 30 million users in 35 countries. It operates a scooter service in 21 cities around Europe.

  • The global facial care products market is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.18 % during the forecast period (2020 - 2025)

    - The improving quality of life, the positive effects of beauty and personal care on self-esteem and social interaction, and the gradual consumer shift toward premium and luxury skincare brands are a few factors that are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period.New York, Jan. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Facial Care Products Market Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06009498/?utm_source=GNW - With the growing demand for organic ingredients, consumers across the world are inclined toward organic skincare products, including facial care, which is expected to drive the market growth during the study period. Furthermore, the rising awareness about the harmful effects of chemicals and synthetic products is another factor augmenting the growth of the market. Most of the consumers tend to buy products with natural or organic labelling, which is driving the market growth.- COVID-19 has also resulted in a generation of opportunities for many private players to emerge in the markets to cater to the inflated demand. Furthermore, COVID-19 has led to a major consumer shift, as customers are no more brand loyal in developing countries and are trying new personal care brands in the low-stock environment.Key Market TrendsIncreasing Demand for Natural/Organic Beauty ProductsThe global facial care products market witnessed an increasing demand for natural and organic products, due to the rise in consumer awareness about the harmful effects of certain compounds, such as paraben and aluminium compounds present in skincare products, including facial care. A high percentage of consumers choose brands based on their natural formulation. This has enhanced the demand for safe, natural, and organic deodorant products in recent times.The purchases are made based on efficacy, with longer-lasting protection and clinical properties. The demand for natural ingredients has been quite evident in the market, and this has led to most companies launching products with nature-inspired ingredients, such as plant-inspired and premium botanical ingredients, coupled with multi-functional properties.Increasing Application of Facial Care Products in South AmericaIn Brazil, consumers had reduced their expenditures on cosmetics, but they were still attentive towards the facial and skincare trends. This signifies the huge opportunities for skincare companies to target & penetrate the Brazilian and the South American market.One of the key trends of demand of creams in Brazil is the increasing proportion of higher SPF products purchased by Brazilians due to climatic condition. Also, a significant percentage of Brazilian women use facial masks or peels, it enhanced the demand for facial mask and also in using facial anti-pollution products.Moreover, the market changing aspects in Argentina are being impacted by the growing consumer awareness regarding the harmful effects of conventional cosmetics, as well as the increase in demand for better and high-quality of skin and body care products thus, driving the market forward.Competitive LandscapeThe global facial care products market is catered by major players that have a strong presence in both domestic and international platforms, therefore the market studied is a competitive market. However, with technological innovation and the popularity of skincare routines, both developing and developed countries are showing the prominence of private label brands that are keen on offering natural and organic products, along with being sustainable.The emergence of small-scale private label brands is evident in the fact that consumers have envisaged a connection with the product, understanding its labelling and being health-conscious. In the market studied, established major players that claim natural and organic products and are involved in sustainable practices have a higher penetration across retail shelves and online channels.Reasons to Purchase this report:- The market estimate (ME) sheet in Excel format- 3 months of analyst supportRead the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p06009498/?utm_source=GNWAbout ReportlinkerReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.

  • Trump frees former aides from ethics pledge, lobbying ban

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, in one of his final acts of office, released current and former members of his administration from the terms of their ethics pledge, which included a five-year ban on lobbying their former agencies. The ethics pledge was outlined in one of Trump’s first executive orders, signed on Jan. 28, 2017, as part of his campaign pledge to “drain the swamp.” It required Trump’s political appointees to agree to the lobbying ban, as well as pledge not to undertake work that would require them to register as a “foreign agent” after leaving government. Trump’s order authorized the attorney general to investigate any breaches of the ethics pledge and to pursue civil suits if necessary. Trump signed the one-page revocation of the order on Tuesday, and it was released by the White House shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, hours before his term ends. The new order states: “Employees and former employees subject to the commitments in Executive Order 13770 will not be subject to those commitments after noon January 20, 2021.” President Bill Clinton signed a similar order with weeks left on his final term, allowing former aides to go directly into lobbying after leaving his administration.

  • Trump Grants Bibi’s Wish for Pardon of Israeli Who Spied on America

    Tom Brenner/ReutersAmong the cronies and b-list celebs pardoned in his final hours in office, President Trump has waived justice for the man who recruited notorious double agent Jonathon Pollard to spy against the U.S.As a favor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamain Netanyahu and Trump mega-donor Miriam Adelson, the president pardoned Aviem Sella despite his key role in a major diplomatic crisis between the U.S. and Israel.Sella, a 75-year-old former Israeli Air Force officer, was indicted on three counts of espionage in 1987 for recruiting Pollard, a U.S. Naval Intelligence analyst, and convincing him to hand over state secrets to Israel.Netanyahu campaigned for Pollard’s release for decades and more recently used him as a political token as he faced growing domestic turbulence. Pollard was released from parole in the U.S. in November after serving 30 years in prison for leaking thousands of classified documents to Israel. He immediately flew to Tel Aviv, where Netanyahu personally greeted him at the airport. “We are ecstatic to be home at last after 35 years,” said Pollard, who had not previously lived in Israel. “No one could be prouder of this country or this leader than we are.”The pardoning of Sella gives Netanyahu another political boost on the eve of the resumption of his corruption trial.‘The Dumbest Sort of Traitor’: Israeli Spies Aren’t Exactly Rejoicing at Jonathan Pollard’s ReleaseSella’s release was also secured through the support of Trump mega donor, Miriam Adelson, the widow of Sheldon Adelson, who backed up Netanyahu’s urgent request for clemency for the ageing spy. “Mr. Sella’s request for clemency is supported by the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamain Netanyahu, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, the United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, and Miriam Adelson,” according to a statement that accompanied the pardon. “The State of Israel has issued a full and unequivocal apology, and has requested the pardon in order to close this unfortunate chapter in US-Israel relations.”Sella met Pollard while studying at New York University in the 1980s and fled to Israel when Pollard was taken into custody for espionage. Israel refused to extradite him in a spy saga that has caused tensions between the two allies for more than three decades. Pollard expressed his pleasure over Sella’s pardon early on Wednesday. “This puts an end to the open wound of the episode after 35 years,” he said in a statement. “After the long years of suffering we ensured, Esther and I want to focus solely on the future and not on the wounds of the past.”Despite his American indictment, Sella, one of Israel’s most decorated Air Force pilots, enjoyed a successful military career in Israel, having been promoted to brigadier general and commander of the Tel Nof Air Force Base the week he was indicted for espionage in the U.S. The U.S. responded by banning any American delegations from having any dealings with him.
