Hi neighbours,

Get ready, there's a new transport option in town! Following the hype around electric scooters, electric mopeds are now hitting the streets. To read more, click here.

Kwikli – a New Zealand-owned e-moped ride-sharing service – have launched in the North Shore suburbs of Takapuna and Devonport and are expected to be rolled out across the Auckland region over the next few months.

It costs $2 to unlock a vehicle (using a phone app) and 35 cents for every minute of riding.

Is this something you'd like to try? Will the moped's help you navigate your city easier? Is hiring a moped a cheaper option for you compared to driving and parking in the city? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below!
