The Zipp Mobility e-scooter hire scheme in Slough, Berkshire, has been suspended after the company's app disappeared from online stores. Similar issues affected schemes in Buckinghamshire, Somerset, and Pembrokeshire. The company is working on a solution to resume the service.
The e-scooter hire scheme in Slough, Berkshire, managed by Zipp Mobility, faced issues after the company's app vanished from online stores, leaving no clear timeline for resolution.
The scheme, launched on May 28, was halted in June due to an unspecified problem the company is still trying to resolve.
Similar issues affected Zipp's e-scooter services in Buckinghamshire and Somerset, with a 'supplier issue' cited.
In Pembrokeshire, the e-bike hire scheme’s app link stopped working, though existing users could still rent e-bikes.
Zipp Mobility's UK country manager, Charlie Wilson, stated that while the problems with e-scooters and e-bikes are related but distinct, efforts are underway to resume services promptly.
