About ScooTours
ScooTours was originally started in London by local guides who wanted to showcase the city in a new and exciting way. Today, we offer tours throughout the country using a variety of micro-mobility vehicles, including non-electric Scooters, E-Bikes and E-Scooters. We are proud to offer unique experiences by merging the worlds of micro-mobility and guided tours. We still believe there is no better way to see the sights than gliding through the streets on two wheels!
About Dott
Dott is a micro-mobility European operator founded by Maxim Romain and Henri Moissinac. Dott‘s mission is to free our cities with clean rides for everyone. Dott currently operates over 30,000 e-scooters in 17 top cities in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the UK. In July 2020, Dott won two of the biggest micro mobility tenders in the world, ranking first both in Paris and in Lyon, followed by the London tender win which saw them launch e-scooters into the capital in June, 2021. Dott will be launching it’s e-bike in London later this summer.
At Dott, we have made environmental excellence a priority in our development. Dott’s unique approach is based on:
- In-house operations since day one: Dott operates 100% of the service with its own local full-time employees, rather than relying on the gig economy or local contractors. This brings additional safety, reliability for the city, and much better overall user experience.
- Careful deployment in each city. We launch one city at a time, working hand-in-hand with local authorities. We ensure all roll-outs are tailored to the individual needs of each city.
- Sustainability: Dott works to reduce its carbon footprint thanks to:
- Custom-designed, long-lasting vehicles, 5-year lifetime, with proper maintenance
- Extremely efficient operations: we track and optimise everything
- We repair everything and recycle that which cannot be repaired
- We use a fleet of e-vans and e-cargo bikes for our operations
- We use renewable energy for recharging scooters and logistics fleet
With carbon offsetting, we achieved carbon neutrality in January 2019. In 2020, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 56%, compared to the previous year.
