Electric scooters for last-mile transportation
We operate shared electric scooters designed to provide reliable last-mile transportation in cities. Our product includes physical scooters, a mobile app for renting them, and partnerships with cities to ensure community support and safety education for riders.
We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is the core urban environment where we operate and engage with cities, making it the ideal base for managing operations, city partnerships, and user support.
