Free Access To Beryl E-Scooters Across Isle Of Wight Today

Islanders can use E-Scooters for free across the Isle of Wight today (Wednesday).

Beryl, the company behind the scooters, has introduced the scheme in support of this year’s Car Free Day (Wednesday 22nd, September). 

Riders will be able to access up to 15 mins for free with one redemption per rider, in addition to having the £1.50 unlock fee waived.

Car Free Day is a global initiative introduced to reduce the reliance on motorised vehicles. By offering free access and use of its micro-mobility vehicles, Beryl hopes more people will be able to fully experience the benefits of using safe, trusted and environmentally friendly alternative modes of transport.

Beryl CEO, Phil Ellis, said: 

“Car Free Day is an important moment in the year to continue building awareness around the need for greater sustainable, affordable and convenient travel solutions, putting people, the needs of local communities and the environment first. 

“In support of this year’s Car Free Day, we’re offering more people the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of our e-scooters. 

“Whether travelling using one of Beryl’s e-scooters, walking or using any other alternative method, we hope to see as many people as possible enjoying safe, sustainable travel.”

 Riders must be 16 or over and hold a UK-valid provisional or full driving licence.
