KUALA LUMPUR: Beam Mobility has partnered with several Malaysian universities to make Beam’s e-scooters available for use on various campuses across the country.
The company said the move was aimed at encouraging car-free journeys among young Malaysians.
Beam is now available in nine universities:
> Universiti Sains Malaysia Penang (USM)
> Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Perak
> Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Terengganu
> Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Sabah
> International University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW)
> EduCity Iskandar
> Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Kuala Lumpur
> Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS)
> Universiti Malaysia Pahang
More universities are expected to adopt Beam e-scooters this year, as currently, more than 1,000 rides are being completed across Malaysian Universities daily.
With Beam’s presence at these campuses, residents, students, and even teachers are now able to easily hop on and off Beam e-
scooters to travel between faculty buildings, lecture halls, sports and leisure facilities, and residential buildings.
At EduCity Iskandar, Asia’s first multi-campus education city, Beam said its e-scooters are used by students from nine universities across its 305-acre campus, connecting people to each of their integrated shared facilities such as the sports complex (EduCity Sports
Complex), a social and coworking space (EduCity Hub), start-up incubation space (FastSpace), and student accommodation buildings (EduCity Village).
While this greatly improves student mobility, the e-scooter usage also reduces on-campus car dependencies and carbon emissions, said Beam.
