Would you give an electric moped a go?
Hi neighbours,
Get ready, there's a new transport option in town! Following the hype around electric scooters, electric mopeds are now hitting the streets. To read more, click here.
Kwikli – a New Zealand-owned e-moped ride-sharing service – have launched in the North Shore suburbs of Takapuna and Devonport and are expected to be rolled out across the Auckland region over the next few months.
It costs $2 to unlock a vehicle (using a phone app) and 35 cents for every minute of riding.
Is this something you'd like to try? Will the moped's help you navigate your city easier? Is hiring a moped a cheaper option for you compared to driving and parking in the city? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below!

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
