Helbiz Target Wheels to Launch Long-Term Rentals in Miami with Wheels Devices

After seeing success in the NYC market, Wheels is launching its monthly rental program for its vehicles in Miami, Florida

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wheels, a micro-mobility operator with a unique sit-down scooter, is bringing its popular long-term rental option for its device to Miami allowing riders to rent their own sit-down scooter for personal use.

“The long-term rental option is the perfect solution for the dilemma faced by car-conscious city dwellers,” said Wheels CEO Marco McCottry. “Wheels’ sit-down scooters are easy to operate and allow for the flexibility of car ownership in a way that is more sustainable and less expensive. This offering has been available in New York City for some time, and we see the same opportunity and need in Miami or any similarly dense, urban market.”

Wheels, which recently entered into a Merger Agreement with Helbiz, developed its new patented vehicle in-house. The sit-down scooter model is easy for new riders to learn how to use and easy to ride which makes it a safe alternative to other options on the market.

The subscription will cost $129.99 per month and can be canceled anytime after return of the vehicle. To rent the device, visit https://takewheels.com/long-term-rentals/.
