Dott因其电动踏板车服务而闻名，该服务可在欧洲一些城市使用。但是该公司正在研发电动自行车，并希望在2021年3月在伦敦和巴黎推出自行车共享服务。
Dott目前不在伦敦营业。如此看来，这将成为公司的第16个城市。
至于自行车，它是由多特（Dott）设计的，将在葡萄牙组装。它围绕着由一块铝制成的彩色框架，无需焊接。由于泡沫轮胎插入物，该公司还选择了防刺轮胎。
正如您在照片上看到的那样，框架中没有可见的链条。 Dott可以更换电池，而不必将整个自行车带到充电站。还有一个集成的地理位置系统。
“这款欧洲制造的自行车的设计符合我们的使命：使所有人都可以出行。我们的多模式（电动自行车和电动踏板车）服务将包括相同水平的卓越运营：可拆卸电池，安全充电，由经验丰富的专业人员执行的运营，系统性的维修和回收利用。”联合创始人兼首席运营官Maxim Romain在新闻稿中说。 。
Dott将与Lime竞争，后者在5月收购了Jump，这是与Uber达成的交易的一部分。 Bolt还在一些城市提供自行车共享服务。
而且，当然，Dott将与按需付费的停靠自行车租赁计划竞争，例如伦敦的桑坦德自行车（Santander Cycles）和巴黎的Vélib’。仅在巴黎，Vélib'已有40万订户。由于它是一项补贴服务，因此很难在价格上竞争。
Dott is better known for its electric scooter service that is available in a few cities across Europe. But the company is working on electric bikes and wants to launch a bike-sharing service in London and Paris in March 2021.
Dott currently doesn’t operate in London. So it looks like it’ll be the company’s 16th city with this launch.
As for the bike, it has been designed by Dott and it is going to be assembled in Portugal. It is built around a colorful frame made from a single piece of aluminum — there’s no welding. The company also opted for puncture-resistant tyres thanks to foam tyre inserts.
As you can see on the photo, there’s no visible chain as it’s integrated in the frame. The battery can be swapped by Dott without having to bring the entire bike to the charging station. There’s also an integrated geolocation system.
“This European-made bike has been designed inline with our mission: to make mobility accessible to all. Our multimodal (e-bike and e-scooter) service will include the same level of operational excellence: removable batteries, secure charging, operations performed by experienced professionals, systematic repairs and recycling,” co-founder and COO Maxim Romain said in the release.
Dott will compete with Lime, which acquired Jump back in May as part of a deal with Uber. Bolt has also been operating bike-sharing services in some cities.
And, of course, Dott will compete with pay-as-you-go docked bike rental schemes, such as Santander Cycles in London and Vélib’ in Paris. In Paris alone, Vélib’ now has 400,000 subscribers. As it is a subsidized service, it’s going to be hard to compete on price.
