The three sharing companies Lime, Dott and Tier Mobility "take note" of the vote of the citizens of Paris against the use of electric scooters in self-service in the popular referendum called yesterday by the mayor, Anne Hidalgo.
In a note, the three operators confirmed that their contract "will not be renewed from 1 September".
"We take note of this unprecedented consultation, the participation of which could have been wider and more representative if the voting methods had been different: more seats, electronic ballot, municipal information", underline the three operators in the press release, adding that yesterday "6.7% of Parisians registered on the electoral roll", equivalent to "4.2% of the Parisian population".
"This - deplore Dott, Lime and Tier - leads to digging a gap between those in favor and against, of a size rarely observed in a vote in France, which reflects asymmetrical conditions".
"The result of this vote will have a direct impact on the movements of 400,000 people a month", continue the operators, adding that "starting now, our priority as responsible employers is to ensure the future of our employees". about 800 in Paris for the three sharing companies.
Dott, Lime and Tier now hope for a "rapid resumption of dialogue with the municipality to discuss the next steps" and specify that they will continue "to offer electric bike rental services" in the French capital.
