Bolt is set to introduce several new changes, including monitoring driving behavior and a discount for customers wearing a helmet.

Last year, the company began monitoring how drivers use its Bolt Drive rental cars and now a similar system will be rolled out for e-scooters.

Karl Apsolon, head of Bolt’s e-scooter division, said the solution will rate users’ riding on a scale from 1 to 100.

The technology will work slightly differently as it is not possible to exceed the speed limit on an e-scooter.

“For example, the score takes into account how smooth the ride is, whether there are sudden brakes or skidding, falls or collisions, riding with two people, whether the vehicle is parked correctly upright or left in a restricted area. In addition, it considers positive actions, for example, if the user parks the vehicle properly upright and in the correct area,” he explained.
