Bzzt! as it’s known is a city centre taxi service, which uses app-hailed, three-wheeled electric pods to take people to their intended destinations.

A Swedish startup has developed battery-powered pod taxis which aim to change city mobility.

It is a city center taxi service, which uses app-hailed, three-wheeled electric pods to take people to their intended destinations. It has a defined "city zone" which covers the city center and main transportation hubs in and out of the city.

The idea is to reduce vehicle emissions in central areas, while providing a quick service from A to B. The battery-powered pods can run for around 75 kilometers on one charge. Then it takes about three hours to recharge them.
