OH, DE COLOGNE!

Munich started it, and now Cologne has also set up scooter sharing.

It works pretty much like car sharing, with one important difference: you don’t need to sign up and stuff around with an account. Instead, you just demonstrate via your smartphone that you have a rider’s licence. The system then tells you where the nearest Vespa Primavera is waiting for you. Ignition and helmet compartment are unlocked electronically and off you go – at a cost of 3.6 Euros for the first half hour and 18 cents per minute after that.

“Well, are you up for it?”
