Bristol’s Tier e-scooters to be rebranded to Dott following company merger

From September 4, all Tier vehicles in the West of England region will also be only available on the Dott app. 

Despite the new app for the users and the rebranded vehicles, the local team, operations and service remain the same.

The integration of the Tier vehicles into the Dott app is said to “offer a more efficient and reliable service to the users and to the cities, and to optimise the efficiency of local operations on a city and country level”.

It follows the merger of the two companies, Berlin-based Tier and Amsterdam-based Dott, at the beginning of 2024.

Iqbal Ahmed, head of public policy UK at Tier-Dott, said: “We are delighted to announce this step for the West of England and are confident that the integration of Tier and Dott will further advance shared micro-mobility in the region. 

“This new phase brings benefits not only to the users, but also to the cities as a more reliable service. 

“The aim of our shared service of e-bikes and e-scooters is to complement the public transport systems at a local level.” 

Tier e-scooters were first deployed across Bristol in October last year, taking over from previous operator Voi.

Tier-Dott operates in over 400 cities across 21 countries, giving users access to an even larger fleet of electric scooters and bikes across Europe and the Middle East.

UPDATE, August 23: The official migration date was originally August 29 but has been changed to September 4, “to allow users enough time to download the Dott app and ensure a smooth transition”.
