New shared bikes make the Amersfoort and Gooi & Vechtstreek regions more accessible
From April 2026, cycling in the region will be much easier, more affordable, and more enjoyable—even without your own bike. A new shared bike provider, Voi, will launch in ten municipalities: Amersfoort, Hilversum, Baarn, Eemnes, Soest, Laren, Huizen, Blaricum, Wijdemeren, and Gooise Meren. Thanks to this collaboration between these municipalities, regions, and the provinces of Utrecht and North Holland, you’ll soon be able to cycle effortlessly throughout the entire region. From Amersfoort to nearly Amsterdam, without any hassle, using just one app and at attractive rates.
Always a bike available near stations or business parks
The Swedish provider Voi, active across Europe in over 130 cities and 12 countries, is now launching in the Netherlands for the first time. A total of 800 electric and regular shared bikes will be available at hundreds of locations across the municipalities. At busy public transport hubs like Hilversum and Bussum, and at multiple business parks in Amersfoort and Soest, you’ll always find one ready for you. The e-bikes have a long range, making even longer distances no problem.
Cheaper and more convenient
Traveling by train or bus? A shared bike is the perfect solution for the last leg of your journey. No detours or waiting around—just hop on an (electric) shared bike and you’ll be at your destination in no time, whether it’s your workplace, a shop in the city, or the Utrechtse Heuvelrug for a hike. And it’s also affordable. With fixed low rates (for example, a maximum of €3 for 20 minutes) and attractive bundle deals, you’ll always know what to expect.
Working together for sustainable mobility
The new provider was carefully selected by the provinces of Utrecht and North Holland and the ten collaborating municipalities in the Gooi & Vechtstreek and Amersfoort regions. Goedopweg, a collaboration programme between the municipalities of Utrecht and Amersfoort, the province of Utrecht, Rijkswaterstaat Midden-Nederland, and the Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management, supported all governments in this partnership. The shared goal? More people cycling, less CO₂ emissions, and a more accessible region.
