Bike-sharing and e-moped-sharing in The Hague
In The Hague you can use a bike-sharing or e-moped-sharing scheme. At this moment it is not possible to make use of a cargo bike-sharing scheme. On this page you can read where you can find more information about bike-sharing and e-moped-sharing.
Advantages of bike-sharing and e-moped-sharing
Using the bike-sharing and e-moped-sharing scheme offers many advantages:
- You do not need to buy your own bicycle or e-moped. You can use the bike-sharing or e-moped-sharing scheme whenever you need it. The advantage is that you only pay for the use of the bike or e-moped and not the maintenance. And because more people are making use of the scheme, there are fewer vehicles on the roads.
- You often can get closer to your destination by bike or e-moped than by car. You do not need to search for a parking spot.
- If you are coming from outside the city, you can often combine the train ride with the bike-sharing or e-moped-sharing scheme.
- The mopeds are electric. This is good for the environment.
