I am not interested in helping anyone, in fact, that is the principle of impartiality in wikipedia, I am only interested in the fact that the information is true and that it is well supported by reliable newspapers

Absolutely clearly facts. If you think we are wrong with links - delete the links, not all information about ICO. It’s clearly proved. All looks like you are paid person

Helbiz partnered with Ehang UAV to establish an aerial ridesharing network of 2 passenger drones. This Helbiz service partnered with the governor of Antigua and Barbuda to operate a pilot program of drone taxis on the Caribbean islands.[24]

In September 2019, Helbiz presents the e-bike "Greta", in homage to the young Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. It was presented on the "Green Carpet" of the final ceremony of the Milan Fashion Week. The latest generation assisted bicycle has a 250 W motor and a 14 AH battery to guarantee a range of up to 80 km with a full load and a maximum speed of 25 km / h. In the frame, reinforced in steel, there is also a GPS system that allows the location and subsequent unlocking of the units through the mobile application, similar to what already happens with scooters.[25]
