You may soon encounter them in the streets of the City of Light. This Friday, February 23, the Heetch platform has officially launched its new offer of taxi-bikes, a kind of two-seater tuk-tuks for getting around Paris more easily.The future of VTCs Now that we know that Paris is the best city in France for cycling, there is no doubt that two-wheelers are becoming the future of the capital. This is something that Heetch has understood well, as the platform has just launched a new offer: bikes with drivers to take you from point A to point B. This new alternative could be a hit with users. The operator promises a 40% time savings and real savings, as this mode of transportation is 20% cheaper than a traditional VTC. It's a real bargain! And the principle is quite simple: you order from the app, and we come to pick you up so you can sit in a small, two-seater, enclosed and heated carriage (yes, at Heetch, we don't hold back)!

An enticing offer, but limited

On average, it costs 7€ for a ride, compared to 10 to 13€ by car. But beware, the service is only available for "intra-muros" rides (and at the same time, it's reassuring that we don't have to deal with the ring road). Regardless, it still saves a considerable amount of time since the vehicl.e is small enough to use **the [bike lanes](https://www.lebonbon.fr/paris/news/velo-paris-cycliste-paris/)**. For now, these **Heetch Bikes** are still in the development phase, so they will only be **available on weekends at first**. Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 3 am and Sundays from 11 am to 11 pm. But the platform has already announced its intention to make the offer permanent if it is successful and if the Parisians are interested enough. So, do not miss out on this weekend, because we think it's pretty cool, and we really want it to continue. via GIPHY.
