Why we are proud to be part of a world first POSTED ON 08/04/2019

The world’s first Ultra Low Emission Zone launched in London this week.

A world first today — our Ultra Low Emission Zone is now in effect in central London, making our air safer for everyone. Retweet now. #LetLondonBreathe #ULEZ #Airpollution #CleanAir pic.twitter.com/Xt5t5guQD7

“I need my strong lungs so I can play in the Premier League one day.” Here’s Jan from #Tooting explaining why he likes the #ULEZ, which launches TODAY (8th)! Jan is a prime example of someone who will benefit from this bold scheme to reduce #airpollution in London. #WeLoveULEZ. pic.twitter.com/WkfiEVbdzl

As a 21st Century society we believe 21st  Century transport solutions should be the norm not the exception.

Anything we can do to reduce carbon emissions and the associated health dangers is a step in the right direction.  A step we must take now before its too late.

 

The Ultra Low Emission Zone comes into force in central #London this #MondayMorning, but what are the effects of air pollution on our bodies? @BBCNews Science Editor @davidshukmanbbc explains:

Whether you ditch the car in favour of the tube, bus, walking, scooting, cycling or water taxi – we believe car free can be part of the solution to our increasingly congested cities.

We passionately believe scooting will have a transformational impact on your health, happiness, wallet and world around you.

Life on 2 wheels has never been so easy to achieve.

Or so fulfilling.

To experience the wonder on wheels for yourself our TRY BEFORE YOU BUY scheme allows you to adopt an adult scooter of your own for 14 days.  Scroll down to find out more.
