Ityala laseNtshona Midlands liya kuqhutywa yiVoi, ukuqala kwesithuthuthu saseSweden. UFredrik Hjelm, igosa eliyintloko lika Voi, wathi ikhontrakthi “yeyona inkulu esiyibonileyo kwihlabathi jikelele”.
Amakhulu nje ezimoto ezizakuqalisa ekuqaleni. "E-Birmingham ufuna amakhulu ezitratweni ukuba abe yinkonzo yezothutho, nangona kunjalo ukukhutshwa okukodwa ngenye yeendlela ezilula," watsho.
Nangona kunjalo ngelixa abaqhubi bezithuthuthu bezizwe ngezizwe befana neLime, iHen, iTier kunye neVoi, ukongeza kwi-clutch yeentshaba zase-UK zamva nje, bayathembela kwithemba lokuba eyona ntengiso inkulu yaseYurophu engagqitywanga ekugqibeleni iya kuvulwa, abanye babakhankaseli bezokhuseleko banexhala lokuphindaphinda isiphithiphithi kunye Impikiswano eyamkele ukujonga kwezithuthi kwizixeko kwihlabathi liphela kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo.
Imibutho yesikolo i-scooter iyaziqinisa ngenxa yokubuyela umva okunokubakho. “Yazisa into enje, kukho icandelo loluntu ngokubanzi elingonwabanga ngalo. . . Ngokuqinisekileyo ayizukuthintelwa, utshilo uMnu Ellis.
