Head of Micromobility Operations (Ireland) at Bolt

2023 was a busy year for Bolt micromobility operations in Ireland and whilst we are only getting started, our operations to date would not have been possible without our dedicated local/central teams and our proactive Local Authority partners. Seeing tens of thousands of Irish customers using our e-bikes validates the importance of shared micromobility. Some 2023 highlights; - Shared e-bike operations in 6 counties, 200% YoY growth - 298% YoY growth in e-bike trips - 274% YoY growth in KM travelled by e-bike - Largest shared e-bike fleet in Ireland - In app cognitive reaction test every night in all towns/cities (10 PM - 5 AM) - Controlled parking in all towns/cities - Speed restrictions and No-Go zone control in all towns/cities - Speed restrictions in applicable towns/cities during weather warnings - 967: Most orders by one customer who travelled a total of 4,299KM (3rd longest distance via micromobility of all Bolt countries) Shared electric micromobility can contribute significantly to the transportation and climate goals of Ireland by reducing private car use, lowering pollution and transforming how we move around our cities, cities that are already at capacity with their existing transport options (car, bus, rail). It will take a collaborative, mutually beneficial, and proactive approach from all stakeholders. Experienced operators with local knowledge working together with local and central government who have the desire to implement change. Will we see the benefits of Bolt micromobility in Irelands' larger cities in 2024? Well, that depends… we have the e-bikes (and e-scooters), the experience and the team, now we just need the opportunity! #bolt #ireland #micromobility #ebike #cycling #cyclist #sharedmobility #activetravel
