If you’ve been biking around Europe, chances are you’ve spotted Voi’s signature green and white electric bikes. Now, starting October 1, 2025, Parisians will get to experience them firsthand. The Swedish micromobility company was just named one of three operators picked by the City of Paris to launch a fresh fleet of pedelecs—electric pedal-assist bikes—in the French capital.
Voi isn’t new to big-city vibes. They’ve already rolled out in over 110 cities across 12 countries, including London, Berlin, Brussels, Oslo, Vienna, and Stockholm. In France, Voi is no stranger to the game either, with active operations in Marseille, Le Havre, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, and Grenoble. But Paris is a different beast: sprawling boulevards, packed bike lanes, and a population always on the move. Voi’s challenge? Make their bikes the go-to option for Parisians craving quick, clean, and fun rides.
6,000 Bikes Hit the Streets in October
The new contract calls for a whopping 6,000 brand-new electric bikes to hit Parisian streets on day one. That means you’ll see more two-wheelers than ever, standing proud at docking stations or ready for dockless rentals. This rollout is slated to last four years, giving Voi plenty of time to tweak, optimize, and keep things fresh as Paris embraces more green mobility options.
Every single bike will be straight out of the box—no hand-me-downs or refurbs here. Voi has focused on building a sturdy frame that can handle daily city wear and tear. They’ve also invested in powerful batteries and reliable brakes, so you can trust your ride even in sudden rain showers or on cobblestone streets. Put simply, if you’re commuting or just cruising for fun, these bikes aim to deliver a smooth, worry-free experience.
Comfort, Safety, and Pricing
You might be wondering what sets Voi’s seats apart—after all, no one wants a sore rump after a 30-minute pedal. According to Voi, the saddles have been ergonomically designed with women’s body types in mind, but they’re comfortable for everyone. Add a step-through frame for easy mounting, adjustable handlebars, and a shock-absorbing system, and you’ve got a ride that feels more like a casual Sunday drive than a grind through traffic.
On the money front, Voi promises to undercut current Paris rates. They’re launching a variety of subscription options—from pay-as-you-go to monthly passes—with cheaper base fees and loyalty discounts for frequent riders. “It’s in our DNA,” Voi’s team says, “to offer competitive pricing no matter the market.” That means more affordable, flexible choices so riders can pick what works best for their lifestyle and budget. At the end of the day, competition is good for everyone—and your wallet.
Voi Store and Community Engagement
Beyond the bikes, Voi is setting up a permanent spot in Paris: the Voi Store. Opening before year-end 2025, this shop will be a hub for micromobility enthusiasts. Expect product demos, repair workshops, and community gatherings led by local cycling groups. Whether you’re a first-timer learning to shift gears or a seasoned pro looking to geek out over the latest tech, the Voi Store aims to be your new favorite hangout.
Plus, Voi is already planning events with local nonprofits and neighborhood associations. Think group rides, clean-up campaigns, and safety training sessions for kids and adults alike. With Paris doubling down on low-emission zones and car-free days, Voi’s community-driven approach could help accelerate the city’s shift toward sustainable transportation. And if you’re hungry for more two-wheeled action, you can join their online Discord community to swap tips, share route recommendations, and connect with other micromobility fans.
