Read full description
Its business model is structured around two primary revenue streams. The first is long-term contracts with cities and public transport authorities, typically spanning 5 to 10 years, to provide comprehensive bike-sharing solutions. This B2G approach ensures a stable, recurring revenue base. The second stream comes directly from riders through a flexible, app-based rental system. Customers can choose from various payment options, including pay-as-you-go, daily passes, and monthly memberships, making the service accessible for both commuters and tourists.
By focusing on strategic partnerships with municipalities, the company has achieved profitable growth and established a significant footprint in the European micromobility sector. This dual approach of serving both cities and individual consumers allows for diversified income and sustainable expansion.
