People can now report any safety or parking concerns with Beryl e-scooters on the Isle of Wight, as they launch in Sandown and Shanklin today (Tuesday).
The partnership with Captur will allow non-users of the scheme to report any safety or parking concerns about Beryl e-scooters directly to the Isle of Wight operational team.
To do so, people simply need to scan the QR code on any vehicle, take a photo, and submit. Each time a report is submitted, points will be earned towards a donation to the Sight for Wight charity.
The expansion of Beryl’s existing scheme will see an increase in the overall fleet of e-scooters across the Island of an additional 25 e-Scooters. There are 19 new bay locations in Shanklin and Sandown, which are now live, and can be found in the Beryl app.
These bays have been chosen in consultation with Isle of Wight Council, Island Roads, Hampshire Constabulary, and Solent Transport. As the UK’s only certified B Corp micromobility operator, Beryl continues to work with community groups across the Isle of Wight, to ensure the scheme works for everyone.
To celebrate the launch, Beryl is offering people in Sandown and Shanklin the first 10 minutes of their rides free from today until next Monday (19), as well as providing 10% of all minute bundles for all Isle of Wight between July 7-18.
In-person launch events, which will include competitions and e-scooter skills sessions will take place today at Jubilee Square in Shanklin and Thursday (15) on the Esplanade in Sandown.
Beryl CEO Philip Ellis said:
‘’As we expand our scheme on the Isle of Wight into Sandown and Shanklin today, we’re taking another step to ensure our e-scooters are convenient for riders, pedestrians and other road users.
‘’Due to our innovative geo-fenced and lined bays, 95% of journeys end in one, and we want to improve that further through our partnership with Captur.
‘’Non-riders will be able to report any safety or parking concerns, simply by scanning a QR code on each vehicle, taking a photo, and submitting a report. Each report will also see points earned towards a donation to the Sight for Wight charity.’’
Charlotte, CEO and Founder, Captur said:
‘’Again the Isle of Wight leads the way. It's clear members of the public want more convenient travel options, but they also really care about the impact on their local community and the environment. Now is the time to work together to make sure the e-scooters work for everyone and are here to stay!
‘’That’s why Captur has partnered with Beryl and will automatically donate to Sight for Wight each time a report is submitted from a member of the public."
