Hot on the tail of the Lime scooter hype, moped ride-sharing service Kwikli has launched in Auckland.
The company, which is owned and operated in New Zealand, announced its launch in Takapuna and Devonport on 11 November.
Using the moped, which are currently spread across five hubs in the North
Shore suburbs, will cost the driver an unlocking fee of $2 and then a usage charge of 35 cents per minute.
This makes the mopeds slightly pricier than the now-ubiquitous Lime Scooters, which cost users $1 to unlock and then a usage charge of 30 cents per minute.
The Kwikli mopeds do, however, offer a few advantages in that they are allowed to travel on the city streets and have a max speed of around 50km/h (faster than a Lime scooter's 24km/h).
