Free Now was previously only used for booking mobility services, such as Taxis, busses, and other accommodations. However, now customers will be able to reserve an e-bike for a work commute or leisure ride whenever they desire. The bikes are available on the new '2-Wheels' section on the Free Now app. This section will show locations of available e-bikes and valid drop-off locations for the same bikes, and will allow uses to select a pick-up location for their ride. Free Now Ireland's general manager stated that he believes "The integration of electric, micro-mobility on the Free Now app will enable our passengers to consider more [sustainable transport choices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayder) in addition to our ECO booking taxi option," meaning this new integration will likely promote healthier lifestyles while reducing carbon emissions in the region.
