Collaboration for Sustainable Mobility
As the Milan Winter Events of 2026 officially launch, the spotlight is on the partnership between Dott, a premier European shared micro-mobility provider, and Segway, a leader in personal mobility innovation. This collaboration aims to enhance sustainability and efficiency in transportation for athletes, spectators, and local residents throughout the event period.
Expanded E-Bike Fleet in Milan
Dott has introduced an extensive fleet of 5,000 shared E-bikes, exclusively featuring the Segway Urban A200 model, positioned as a key asset in the city's transportation infrastructure during one of its most significant international occasions. This strategic shift not only aligns with the event's focus on green mobility but also sets a new standard for E-bike rentals in urban settings.
The Urban A200 E-bike, designed for high-volume usage, promises a smoother and more stable riding experience thanks to technological advancements borne out of user feedback and Dott's technical collaborations with Segway. Enhancements such as an upgraded battery system bolster reliability and ensure that users can access fully charged bikes effortlessly throughout the event.
User-Centric Design Features
Designed with versatility in mind, the Urban A200 accommodates riders of varying heights and incorporates features such as integrated phone chargers and enhanced battery capability, endearing itself not only to residents but also to visitors who require efficient transport solutions in bustling Milan.
According to Zack Yan, Vice General Manager of Segway’s Commercial Mobility Division, the collaboration meets rigorous operational requirements while enhancing the overall rider experience. The E-bikes embody a promise of accessible and convenient mobility during the high-demand days of the winter events.
Extending Reach to Verona
The partnership doesn't stop in Milan; it also extends to Verona, the host city for the event's closing ceremony. Dott will serve as the exclusive supplier of E-bikes there as well, ensuring consistent access to eco-friendly transportation at all major venues associated with the events.
Champion Pass: Making Mobility Affordable
A noteworthy innovation accompanying this initiative is the introduction of the Champion Pass, a special fare accessible through the Dott app, priced at only €2.99 per month. This pass allows for unlimited rides on E-bikes and scooters, ensuring that mobility remains affordable and accessible to all during this busy season.
The first five minutes of any ride cost just €0.75, while subsequent time incurs a reduced rate, encouraging the widespread use of these bikes as an alternative to personal vehicles during the bustling event weeks.
Andrea Giaretta, Dott’s Vice President of Revenue, emphasizes that the goal remains unchanged: to transform mobility for the better. By launching the Urban A200 alongside the Champion Pass, both companies aim to enhance travel efficiency for both locals and tourists, alleviating congestion and supporting public transport functionalities within the city.
Commitment to Sustainable Practices
The Milan Winter Games' commitment to sustainability resonates well with the Dott-Segway alliance, showcasing the viability of shared mobility systems in accommodating significant international gatherings. This initiative underscores the necessity and effectiveness of sustainable transportation solutions in urban environments, particularly in times of high demand.
As thousands flock to the Milan Winter Events, Dott and Segway's collaboration stands as a prime example of how innovative partnerships can foster greener urban living spaces and pragmatic transportation solutions. The dual aim of advancing mobility while ensuring environmental responsibility is not just a trend but a transformative practice here in Milan during these high-spirited times.
