Jack Samler, general manager at Voi UK and Ireland, said: “This partnership with TTC takes our rider safety skills training to a new level, with Voi gaining from TTC Group’s decades of experience delivering behavioural change for all road users, and providing TTC with the opportunity to enter a growing new transport sector.
“We look forward to growing our safety visions together, and continuing to offer best practice in responsible micromobility, that puts people first and creates safer and better cities for living.”
These training events will involve both off and on-road practical sessions, and participants will be provided with free helmets to use during the training, as Voi tries to incentivise helmet use.
