We are thrilled to announce that we now have a fleet of Voi electric scooters docked outside the front of College to provide a zero-emission transport option for those without bikes. 

If you’re one of our first 50 users to complete an online safety course (link TBC), you’ll get a free helmet that’s perfect for your bike rides too. 

All you need to do is download the Voi app to your mobile, create an account and you’ll be on your way. Rides cost £0.20p per minute and you can read more on how to get started including safety tips.  

You may have seen them zipping around town, and they’re a great alternative to those short bus journeys too.   

From eco couriers to electric scooters, we've partnered up with local initiatives to chip away at Scope 3 emissions - those produced through supply chains, transport and other indirect emissions.

Sir Tim Hitchens, President of Wolfson College, said, "This partnership with Voi is a great fit for our electric college. Since decarbonising our buildings, we're continuing the work by offering more and more zero-emission transport options for our community. 

“Voi's electric scooters are right at home here, alongside our pre-loved bike depot and soon-to-arrive electric bus."

Jack Samler, Regional General Manager for Voi UK, Ireland and France, said: “We’re very excited about this partnership with Wolfson College who are pioneering dedicated e-scooters to make it really easy for their students to choose eco-friendly transport options. 

“I hope that this is something that other universities will consider to help them reduce their own emissions and contribute towards cleaner, less congested cities.”
