There are quite a lot of motorcycles as well, but what's interesting is the new motorcycle taxi company operating in Amsterdam.<br><br>

Since October 1st, the new Hopper motorcycle taxi company offers a novel approach to bring people to their final destination. They use an electric scooter for the "last mile", in other words, for short inter-city destinations. But the interesting thing is that the scooters are limited to a maximum speed of 25 kph. That speed limit allows you to ride a scooter without a helmet in The Netherlands. This means logistically, it's easier to use, since the cab company doesn't need to bring different helmets. You really hop on and off.<br><br>

Also interesting is the fare. There's only one price, and that is â,¬2.50.......... <br><br>
