Cite Lib by Ha:mo is a new type of mobility based on ultra-compact electric vehicles, the service aims to complement Grenoble’s public transport network with a solution for short-trips — including one-way trips — that can be planned as part of overall city journeys.
The vehicles and the charging stations are seamlessly connected to the IT infrastructure of Grenoble’s transport network, offering both route planning and online/mobile app reservations.
Users can pick-up one of the 70 vehicles and drop it off at any station near their destination without having to return it to the original pickup point. They will only be charged for the ride.
The scheme features 35 Toyota i-ROAD 3-wheel personal mobility vehicle equipped with Active Lean technology that emulates the movements of a skier. There are also 35 four-wheel vehicles, Toyota Auto Body’s COMS, as part of the project.
The service eliminates the need to look for a parking place. In addition, the compactness of the vehicles makes it easier to plan and build parking and charging infrastructure.A simple pricing plan dubbed '3, 2, 1 euros' for respectively the first, second and third 15-minute increments will be proposed to Grenoble citizens. For annual local transport card subscribers, the price will be reduced, at 2 + 1 euro for respectively the first and subsequent 15-minute increments.
