Appendix 3: Proposed Tariff & Promotions for scooter in BHCC trial

Benchmarking: Beryl in BCP & Norwich

The Scooter ‘Pay as you Ride’ (PAYR) rate is £1 to unlock and 22p per min.

Beryl’s BHCC PAYR scooter proposal:

£1 unlock. 20p per min weekday, 22p at weekend.

Scooter Minute Bundle option:

The existing 50min and 100 min Bundles would apply to scooters for the same no of mins. No unlock fee. These represent a significant saving compared to the PAYR rate, and an even greater than the saving provided by bundles for E-bikes and pedal bikes.

PAYR weekend rate Illustrations:

£2.65 = £1 unlock plus 1.65 (approx. 8 min ride).

The average min ride time on e-bikes in Feb 26 was 12.5 mins. In scooter terms (PAYR weekend) the cost would be £3.75

The average minute ride time on e-bikes in July 25 was 14.6 minutes. In scooter terms (PAYR weekend) the cost would be £4.21
