Tartu is testing a new model of electric bicycle, which may eventually become the long-term replacement of those currently used in the city’s bike sharing scheme.
The new models, which were manufactured in Portugal are in line to replace the current bikes, which have already been in use in the city for 6 years. The new bikes, manufactured by Wegoshare Lda, are affectionately known as “OSAV.”
Most of the bikes in the city’s bike sharing system at present are Targa Tartu bikes (“TARK”) manufactured by Bewegen, with a small number of “ILUS” models created by the Estonian company Better Than Driving OÜ also still in service. All three models – “ILUS,” “TARK” and “OSAV” – will be available to Tartu residents until the end of the current season.
