Unagi Launches 'All-Access' Scooter Service In DC, NoVA

DC/VIRGINIA — Unagi is rolling out its "All-Access" scooter service across the D.C. area, offering a stylish new way to travel in the region.

With an All-Access subscription, riders can get Unagi’s Model One for a flat monthly fee that includes maintenance and insurance for scooter theft or damage. The Model One is a lightweight electric scooter that provides portability and power.

Once a customer subscribes, Unagi will deliver a Model One scooter to their home via FedEx within 72 hours. Customers will then be able to ride the scooter as much as they want as long as they are subscribers.

The California-based company is offering two All-Access plans: a pay-as-you-go monthly plan for $49 per month, and a discounted annual plan that works out to $39 a month. Customers can cancel their subscriptions at any time, with no penalty.

If a customer runs into any maintenance trouble, the company will resolve it by sending a replacement scooter that arrives in less than 72 hours. The subscription includes full insurance against theft or damage.

Thursday’s rollout in the D.C. and Chicago areas follows the launch last summer of the Unagi All-Access service in New York and Los Angeles. The company then entered six more metropolitan markets this spring: Austin, Miami, Nashville, Phoenix, the San Francisco/ Bay Area, and Seattle.

In the D.C. area, the All-Access service will be available across the entire city. In Virginia, it will be available in Alexandria, Arlington, Herndon, McLean and Reston, and other parts of Fairfax and Loudoun counties.
