The launching event of Ele.C.Tra. project will take place on 13th December 2013 in Berio Library (Biblioteca Berio), Genova.

 ELE.C.TRA aims to encourage the spread of electric scooters in European cities. We do not want to speak about ELECTRIC MOBILITY: we want to DO IT.

For this reason we will meet and discuss with those who produce, sell or rent e-scooters, supply charging services and with those who want to experience new types of sustainable mobility. All the stakeholders who want to take part in the construction of the first pilot action which will begin in May 2014 in the EU cities of Genoa, Florence and Barcelona are invited at the Italian Support Group.
