People ride electric scooters on Khreshchatyk Street in downtown Kyiv on April 10, 2021. As the Ukrainian capital remains under lockdown with public transport available to only a small number of people, many vehicle sharing services offer electric scooters and bikes as an alternative.
When the spring lockdown in Kyiv restricted public transport to a small fraction of people, demand for bike and electric scooter rentals has gone through the roof.
Unlike taxis, bikes and scooters are environmentally friendly, relatively cheap and aren’t hindered by heavy traffic, which only intensified from the recent restrictions.
