All the right moves as Wind Mobility scoots into Ireland

German firm launches e-scooter operation as a safe and sustainable mode of transport

Wind Mobility, e-scooter operator launches in Ireland.

The recent news that Ireland is finally getting its act together with new legislation to regulate the use of e-scooters and e-bikes has come at a great time. The Government has given the approval to draft new legislation for a new vehicle category — powered personal transporters — which will be legal to use in public but within a new safety framework.

A Germany company Wind has launched its Irish operation with a promise to offer the safest and most sustainable sharing scheme at an affordable rate for Irish users. A Dublin-based e-scooter startup Zipp Mobility, which already has 450 e-scooters in the UK launched here in January, so the competition is already hotting up.
