During the presentation of Casa Seat , the new headquarters of the Spanish firm in the heart of Barcelona, the brand took the opportunity to tell us about a new chapter in its history. Seat is launched hand in hand with Silence to the competitive market of motosharing services. Already then they told us about Seat MÓ, a platform that will provide its users with emission-free motorcycles to be able to move around the Catalan capital without fear of traffic restrictions. Barcelona is known for the large number of scooters that travel its streets in a perfect but chaotic harmony with cars, buses and the rest of the mobile park. What’s more, Barcelona has been leading the ranking for some years as the city with the most motorcycles per inhabitant in Europe , ahead of metropolises such as Rome or Paris. It is logical, then, that the introduction in the services of motosharing on the part of Seat is carried out in this great city.
Scooters have been at the forefront of sales in the two-wheel sector for years. Their agility between traffic and the possibility of parking them “almost” anywhere makes them the perfect ally for cities. However, mayors like Ada Colau and their anti-pollution protocols have put the magnifying glass on this type of vehicle. There have been many protests, since motorcycles have always been an ally in reducing pollution, the parking problem and traffic jams. They have been of little use. Many owners will have to change their old motorcycle or mopeds before September 15, the day on which the Low Emissions Zone will come into effect in Barcelona .
If you live in the Catalan capital, you may be interested in buying a motorcycle, so don’t miss our article on the 12 best-selling and most interesting scooters on the market. If you prefer not to make the investment of a purchase but you also do not trust to move in urban transport, with the risk of contagion and the waits that it entails, motosharing may be the mobility style that suits you. The services of Seat MÓ, with 632 eScooters available , are an option.
