The City of New York, where the streets and roads are flooding with commuters, a shared scooter program has been initiated to bring into light a remunerative market and new battlefield for the micro-mobility vehicles. It is expected that The New York City Council will vote on a bill in order to escalate a pilot program of shared electronic scooters in the city. There has been an intense increase in the number of people opting for micro mobile vehicles providing convenient and feasible options for the last – mile transportation.

Since 2018, the trend of Micro mobile vehicles has been revived with companies like Lime and Bird introducing the concept of dockless and shared e – scooters. These products were a perfect fit for the U.S. market, which led both these companies to become the fastest growing companies at reaching billion-dollar valuation. The trend of e – scooters has taken a leap since 2019, with people learning about the importance of saving the environment and choosing environment-friendly transportation options.

Like New York City, every city needs safer and more sustainable commute options to get going during the Pandemic and Post – Pandemic. Especially, for the delivery workers who provide us with all the essentials during the darkest days. These vehicles also help in alleviating the traffic congestion during the rush hours of the day. In order to run this operation smoothly, the city also needs to have a suitable infrastructure in order to prevent clogs on the roads or any sort of road accidents.

Riding with Lime E – Scooters

Lime is one of the rising stars in the Micro mobile vehicles’ market, with an experience of more than 2 years, Lime has entered the list of companies selling the most convenient options of Electronic Scooters. Bird founder and CEO Travis Vander Zanden said the pending vote highlights “that New York City recognizes the ‘next’ transportation normal is one that indexes on shared micro-mobility, such as e-scooters and devolves from cars or ride-hail options that contribute to increased pollution and decreased safety throughout communities.”

Lime has been working on improvising the user interface at the same time working on developing a successful scooter program. The company believes that a successful program will provide the customers with service zones in denser communities, built zones that connect both the commercial and residential neighborhoods.

How Profitable can these e-scooters companies be?

Earlier, the E-Scooter unit economics were unstable and unreliable, but with the increasing awareness amongst the people about choosing the healthy options, and appreciating the infrastructural benefits of Electric Vehicles, the market has seen quite a boom. The two most important factors that can set your company apart from the rest of the manufacturers are :

  • Increased battery life or rechargeable batteries, in order to prevent the customers from facing any kind of inconvenience.
  • Better quality of the product, improvised sizes of the wheels, and a user-friendly app guiding the riders make their way through the pop-up areas and green lanes.


(Monetary valuation of the leading e – scooter companies)

Summary

We at Coruscate ensure to incorporate the needs of customers in developing an astounding business idea, which is both profit-oriented and market-oriented, at the same time a bundle of creativity and craftsmanship. Our team is a clump of technology enthusiasts, working in making your dreams turn to reality.

There isn’t any other industry that is experiencing the disruption at the scale of disruption the micro-mobility industry is experiencing! Every day, we come across many news of the acquisitions, new launches, hardware upgradations, government regulations, e-scooter accidents as well as micro-mobility companies discontinuing their all operations.

One of the reasons why the micro-mobility industry isn’t augmenting at the same pace is the challenges associated with e-scooter sharing businesses. These challenges are so effectual that if businesses can’t find a way to deal with challenges, they simply cannot save their business.

However, the latest advancements in the different business aspects of the micro-mobility industry enable e-scooter sharing startups to lock horns with challenges and keep running their profitable business without letting challenges influence the profit.

Recently, Bird has introduced a very groundbreaking feature in its app which facilitates Bird to solve major two problems associated with e-scooter sharing business – e-scooter parking and less profit per ride. This new feature is based on the very aggressive new business model of the Bird.

In this blog, we will discuss everything about Bird’s latest feature which we, Coruscate, can accommodate in your e-scooter app and make you earn more without distressing about the parking of e-scooters.

Bird Pay – The most disruptive feature in the e-scooter app

 

To expand the existing relations with users (and to solve two major business challenges), Bird has decided to make a move in payments. Last month, Bird introduced Bird Pay which allows riders to buy and pay at local shops through Bird main e-scooter app. Currently, Bird is testing this new feature in Los Angeles and Santa Monica.

The company said that the link between local shops and riders is very strong and they have decided to launch such a unique feature in a response to requests from the local shop owners. Bird also claimed that 58% of all the rides through its app either start or end from the local shops.

Bird’s this new surprising business strategy to bring riders and shop owners under one roof depicts the potential of the e-scooter app. Bird’s CEO stated in his official statement that the e-scooter app is no longer restricted to offer last-mile connectivity, but it can foster ways to connect riders and local shop owners with each other.

However, adding payments to the on-demand transport app isn’t a novelty. It is a tested and successful formula. In Asia, Grab has integrated a similar extensive payment module in its main app. Uber has also explored the aftermath of a similar business strategy with Uber Money.

But talking about the e-scooter sharing business, launching Bird Pay is a very disruptive step. By launching just one feature, Bird has successfully started ruling against challenges associated with the micro-mobility business.

Let’s quickly discuss how Bird Pay decodes two major challenges – e-scooter parking and less profit per ride.

How can Bird Pay like feature solve business challenges of e-scooter sharing business?

How to Make an e scooter App Like Bird, Develop Alternative app of Bird, Bird alternative app features to consider

Regardless of the business scale and locations, e-scooter parking and less profit per ride are the most common challenges all e-scooter sharing businesses have been facing. Though these are very common challenges, businesses could not find a legal way to cope up with them. But now, with the launch of Bird Pay, they have got a direction to move in and accomplish business goals.

Challenge #1: E-scooter parking

 

E-scooter parking has been the major concern of the governments. They cannot simply allow poorly parked e-scooters to trouble pedestrians. For that, they ask the operator to ensure the proper parking of e-scooters. They also ask the operators to remove the poorly parked e-scooters within the 2 hours of knowledge.

To meet such kind of parking requirements, operators must either hire dedicated staff or build the parking spots on the streets. But both of these solutions are costly. So, what is an affordable alternative?

By partnering with local shop owners, you can utilize their doorway space as an e-scooter parking space. Most importantly, they cannot refuse you to utilize their space as by building an e-scooter parking space at their doorway, you are offering them an opportunity to attract your customers!

However, you have to reward your users with built-in payments to enable them to buy and pay things from your partnered local shops seamlessly. This feature does not only help your partnered shop owner to attract more users but it helps you to deal with the second challenge.

Challenge #2: Less profit per ride

 

Including Bird, all micro-mobility startups are making a $1 of profit per ride which is really low. But with Bird Pay like feature, you can increase the profit per ride by more than 50%. Here is how:

Suppose, a user just ends a ride and you make a profit of $1 from that one ride. Now, since your app is equipped with Bird Pay like features, that user enters your partnered shop and makes a purchase of $5. So, if you take as low as 10% commission on it, you add 0.5$ on the previously earned $1. What if a user makes a purchase of $20? – you make more profit on his purchase than his ride!

So, now when you know about Bird Pay and how it solves challenges associated with micro-mobility business, let’s move ahead and discuss how Bird Pay works.

How does Bird Pay work?

 

The working of Bird Pay is very straightforward. We at Coruscate can add the same Bird Pay like feature in your e-scooter app or customize it according to your needs. 

  • On the map, riders can see the purple star drop pins which show the Bird’s partnered shops.
  • Once riders enter into any of those shops,  they have to scan the QR code, displayed at the register.
  • Riders are then required to enter the payment amount and initiate the payment.
  • They are also required to show the in-app receipt to the merchant to verify the payment.

After reading so far, if you are thrilled to accommodate such a feature in your e-scooter app, let’s go deep down and understand how to actualize it and how much does it cost.

How to actualize Bird Pay like feature in your e-scooter app?

 

Our developers and business experts have already studied the scope of Bird Pay like feature and possible ways to actualize it without making you shoulder additional e-scooter app development cost.

To actualize the Bird Pay like feature, we need to add 1 new module to show partnered shops to the riders and need to customize the payment module to let riders pay by scanning the QR code at shops. We also need to build a new dashboard for shop owners to get the QR code, know their earnings, and link their bank accounts.

Here, location plays an important role.  Since we are only showing partnered shops before and after the ride, the app should first determine whether a rider is riding an e-scooter, has ended the ride, or just scanning the nearby e-scooters.

  • If he is riding an e-scooter, show him the nearby parking locations and names of your partnered shops. 
  • As soon as he ends the ride, show him the nearby partnered shops with deals going on in every shop.
  • If he is just scanning the nearby e-scooters, show him the parking locations and your partnered shops distributed all over the city. 

How much does it cost to build an e-scooter app with Bird Pay like a feature?

 

Coruscate is the top e-scooter app development company that has developed 10+ disruptive e-scooter apps for different markets. We accommodate 100+ app developers, app designers, IoT engineers, business experts, and legal advisors who all work together to make your business journey painless.

Our business experts help micro-mobility startups to draft the business plan, decide on the business model, select the e-scooter hardware, and study the market. As if this is not enough, our legal advisors help micro-mobility startups to acquire a permit from the government.

A basic chart for P2P payments app development cost is as follows:

The cost to build an e-scooter app relies on the app development approach you choose.

  • To develop a custom e-scooter app with all custom features, we charge somewhere between $15000 to $25000.
  • The price to develop the clone version of some popular e-scooter app starts from $10000.
  • And our subscription plan for the white label e-scooter app starts from just $500.

Tier Mobility recently acquired Coup’s electric moped, which shut its shop last year. This acquisition was made to achieve the single goal of offering sustainable mobility solutions to the end users. Along with the 5000 mopeds, Tier Mobility has also taken over the charging infrastructure developed by the e scooter company.
The idea is to go from offering e-scooter solutions to e-mopeds, using the experience and expertise gained from the e-scooter segment.

Tier Mobility, based out of Berlin, was devised with the single goal of offering affordable and sustainable as well as short distance ride solutions to the market. It is currently located in 55 cities across 11 countries.

As can be seen from the way Tier Mobility has grasped the market, and how it has redefined sustainability, acquiring Coup will help it reposition its image and gain a better reach. Moreover, it also showcases how accepting people are of the e-scooter segment. In fact, in most countries it is a welcome idea, as it gives independence to the users, and allows them to commute the entire distance at an affordable rate.

What are the major benefits of e-scooter?

How to Make an e scooter App Like Tier, Develop Alternative app of Tier, Tier alternative app features to consider

There is a reason, apart from affordability, that has led to the increase in demand for e-scooters.

  • It is a sustainable solution. For those, who are looking for environment friendly solutions, the e-scooter seems to be an interesting concept. It will not only help people with commuting, but also prevent pollution, thus easing the environment.
  • The rides are quite affordable. The per hour charge is pocket friendly, which makes it an acceptable solution.
  • With e-scooters, you can maneuver your way through the traffic. That’s precisely why you should indulge in this solution. As they take up less space, and are quite easy to move around, you don’t get stuck in traffic.

Tips to Define an App Solution

 

With Coup, Tier Mobility will enhance the charging abilities for the mopeds. This simply means, you will be able to ride longer with a better charging facility. However, the most important factor that needs to be seen is how Tier Mobility plans to charge its customers.

Before getting to the nitty gritty of how the acquisition will revamp, here are a few things that you might get to learn from Tier’s e-scooter app solution.

  • Easy to Locate: The e-scooters should be easy to locate and quicker to hire. The app solution you are defining for the e-scooter business should make it easier for the users to find a dock-less scooter that is located nearby. They simply need to enter their pickup location, and the scooters around that area should be made available on the map. You need to create an app booking service that is quite similar to the cab booking apps.
  • Effortless Unlocking: When you are talking about dock-less scooters, the most important consideration would be safety. How will you ensure that the scooters are locked, and the user who has booked is the one to unlock the same? The QR code will play an important role in this. You can use the QR code unlocking technique to make it hassle-free and safe for the users.
  • Peek into the History: When you want to check the ride history and know how much you paid for a ride or where you found your dock-less scooter, it should be made easy for the customers. The user should be able to peek into the history, and should be able to view details of all the past rides.
  • Easy Payments: The payments within the app will help the users to pay for the rides, and ensure that all the rides are paid for. In fact, integration of the wallets and other cashless payment methods can help the riders to keep a tab of their payments.
  • Discounts for Engagement: If you have a loyal customer base, to retain them you ought to keep selling them better benefits with your app. You should introduce discounts and coupon offers that are specifically devised for them. you should in fact provide the customer base personalized offers that will engage them better.
  • Alerts in Real-time: The users want to know what is happening in the app, where their next ride is, what kind of offers have been devised for them, and other details. These alerts will help the users keep up with the latest happening.

As a good brand, you should use the feedback offered by the client base, and incorporate the ones that you feel are in sync with your needs. it will always benefit if you can use the right kind of feedback, and nurture your users to keep reaching out with their feedback.

How to Make Money with your App?

 

When you are planning an app, you not only plan the development strategy, but also the marketing and app monetization strategy. here, we will take you through the ways in which you can make money with your e-scooter app.

  • The target market for the e-scooter would be specific. In that case, you can show ads that you believe the market is interested in. These in-app ads will not only fetch good clicks, but also good revenue with it.
  • In some cases, the people in the target market would be dependent on the e-scooter for their commute. You can offer them subscriptions or annual membership, which will also help monetize your app.

Summing Up

 

The future for Tier Mobility is even more sustainable with chargeable mopeds that they have acquired from Coup. They will be enhancing the capability of the market and offering a competitive edge at the same time.

A basic chart for P2P payments app development cost is as follows:

The storm of dockless electric scooters sharing apps has reached almost all around the world in the last year. There are more and more electric scooters coming up in the market and more of these tiny vehicles are seen moving around the streets. The more these bikes are seen around, the more accidents are visible in the vicinity because of which the e-scooter faced a huge backlash initially.

However, the ironic truth is the disruptive technology is actually redefining urban transportation.
The recent innovations in autonomous vehicles are evolving connected-city technologies. It will also dramatically influence the re-engineering of the city infrastructures in order to keep a tab on issues like traffic congestion, commuter safety, energy usage and how to navigate through the first and the last mile.

New data types and sources produce unique traffic solutions

Dockless electric scooters and shared bikes are in the end Internet of Things (IoT) devices. They are activated with the help of rider’s smartphones and continuously generate data from the integrated sensors which are transmitted to the systems of the companies that own them. They get all of the information right from the location of each bicycle, the time taken to complete each ride all in real time.

It is expected that the most functional level mobility data will produce more focused insights related to fleet management, heavily corridors, peak commute time and other transits will be magnifying the major benefits of the connected city model. According to a study, in the US alone, congestion cost was $305 billion last year which was increased by $10 billion from 2016.

How IoT connects devices?

Connected-Health

The world is getting smaller and smaller with high advancements in technology. We experience the new modes of communication that enable us to interact with our world and each other in various new and unimaginable ways. The technology has not only transformed our lexicon fundamentally but also it has expanded our capacity for empathy and the human ability to reach vast social consensus. We can check out the experiences, the struggles and the memories of the world right at our fingertips.

But along with our human world, the world of gadgets is also experiencing the connectivity and forming a synaptic network between our phones, cars, computers, and even homes. All of these have started “communicating” with one another and share the information. This network of physical objects communicating with each other is called the “Internet of Things or IoT”.

IoT technology has enabled us to analyze the data much more efficiently, effectively and effortlessly than ever before. IoT is nothing but the network of physical things that are embedded with software, sensors, and connectivity capabilities of receiving and transmitting data. So, which are the various things connected to this widespread network?

E-scooters with IoT

With the far-reaching implications of IoT, the e-scooters and other electric vehicles are not left untouched. The modern e-scooters powered by IoT technology are able to tell its riders the best routes to go for and are very much trackable right from the headquarters. The company can also make sure that the e-scooters are not taken out of the city limits by locking them right away if the rider tries to take it beyond the boundary. The IoT technology can even help to keep a check on the emission of Co2.

IoT is making things easier for enviroment-friendly technologies and programs like e-bikes, and ride-sharing services. That is why most internet-based transportation companies like Uber, Lyft, Bird, Lime, etc. have experienced a growth of more than 32% since 2013.

The e-scooters powered with IoT are a revolution that gives one the real-time accessibility, real-time data sharing and eco-friendly transportation that is the future of transit. IoT is making a future possible where the cars and the stoplights can talk to one another directly instead of operating on timers. The stoplights could use real-time traffic data to optimize the traffic flow and eliminate the traffic altogether.

Everyone is aware of cities getting more and more congested and that is why it will be difficult to fit in so many cars in the picture. So, the next step that people will adopt is going for e-scooters and e-bikes. So, there will be a huge advancement in the production of two-wheelers in the coming year with a similar rise in the scooter sharing industry.

Not only that, with the IoT involved, the scooter rental services will be able to make the rides safer by keeping a tab on the speed of vehicles all over the world. They will be able to control the speed limits according to each city where the vehicles are working. They will also be able to avoid tragic accidents by knowing which e-scooters need charging and if there is an issue with some of the scooters. The riders will not need to keep their location on in the IoT powered e-scooters, the exact locations can be detected even without smartphones.

Equipping the easy to use, pocket-friendly solutions with IoT is a no-brainer. These small and simpler rides will be slowly becoming a sustainable travel solution and the standard of the future. Going with the IoT powered e-scooters is clean, cutting edge and revolutionary.

Cost of Development of basic E-scooter app

The e-scooter app basically consists of 3 modules. Here is a basic price chart that will give you an idea of how much time will the e-scooter app with basic features take to be ready.

Escooter app development costcost
However, we would like to inform you that you should never believe in scripts that many of the development companies offer. Though these scripts take less time and money to build your app, they might not prove profitable in the long run. According to the law for launching apps in the App Store, they do not allow to launch clone apps with exact same features. Even if due to some loophole, you are able to launch the app, there are not many chances for you to gain customers. So, it is better to build your unique app with peculiar features and attract your audience in the right way.

We can help you develop an app with a smooth and seamless user-interface and great features. If you have queries regarding e-scooter app development, do not hesitate to contact us for a free consultation session and ask for a free demo.

The Santa Monica-based electric scooter startup which has raised $415 million in venture capital to date. It has taken another step to expand its scooter rental business by starting a monthly rental program that will complement its existing on-demand service.

They have charged a flat-rate fee of $24.99 to let the customers rent these e-scooters for a month. This rate amounts the charge to about one dollar a day. The customers get an unlimited ride on a personal scooter once they rent it for a month.

The scooter rental plan for Bird will first roll out in San Francisco and Barcelona. They are planning to take the plan to other cities this Spring. The company’s rental model already has a waitlist in which the interested people can enroll their names.

The e-scooter rental model works in the following manner:

  • The user enters the relevant information such as the location and the time when they want their e-scooter delivered.
  • Once they place the order, they get a follow up from a representative to confirm.
  • The representative arranges a scooter, charger and a lock to be delivered to the user.
  • Similarly, after the rental period is over, a representative will come and pick up the vehicle and the accessories.

Like Grover, Bird is now encouraging the bike rentals. Renting the e-scooters is much more equitable option than any other means of transportation.

Using the Bird e-scooter on daily basis used to cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute. But the rental model will cost approximately $1 dollar per day for unlimited rides. This model of Bird will be much affordable for the commuters having average to low income and who spend a lot of amount on daily transportation.

E-scooter rental for monthly basis provides greater access to a sustainable form of transportation which is much more dependable than any other mode of transportation. At the same time, it is eco-friendly. So, it can be convenient, pocket-friendly for you and safe for the environment as well. However, according to Venture Beat, it is notable that Bird is attempting to avoid some restrictions on electric scooter usage.

The electric scooter rental company was founded in 2017 and has many competitors. But its chief rival is e-scooter startup Lime which has raised more than $765 million till now. There are many other rival e-scooter companies which have raised a huge funding amount like Spin, Jump bikes, Dott, Voi, etc.

There are no second thoughts about Bird being better-funded than many of its competitors. It is operating across dozens of markets in the US which includes Santa Monica, Austin, Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, San Diego, Washington, D.C., and Paris. Bird has also custom-designed its e-scooters and use their own infrastructure to run the shared electric scooter rentals.

E-scooters from a security perspective

Just entering and earning through the electric scooter business is not important if you wish to stay in the e-scooter sharing industry for a longer time. There have been many cases where people are getting injured while riding electric scooters. People have even observed exploding dockless shareable two-wheelers in the past few years. However, the broken bones and head injuries are a great cause of concern for the government and also it is bad for the reputation of the electric scooter rental companies.

A study conducted by the Public Health and Transportation departments in Austin stated that a total of 271 people had experienced electric-scooter related injuries from September to November 2018.

According to an article on The Verge, there were a total 182,333 hours of e-scooter use during the study period. 891,121 miles rides were completed on e-scooters and there have been around 936,110 trips. The research team came out with the results that there were 20 individuals injured per 100000 e-scooter trips in the period of three-month. Out of the injured riders, half of the riders had head injuries. 15% of the people had traumatic brain injuries which could have been prevented if the people had worn helmets. Only 190 riders were wearing a helmet out of those who were riding the electric scooters.

The study concludes that the injuries could have been prevented. The use of a helmet can bring down the rate of head injuries in the event of a scooter crash.

Since the dockless electric scooters and bikes are becoming a common phenomenon in a lot of cities, many startups are investing money in the industry. The ride-hailing giants like Uber and Lyft are trying to bring down the traffic congestion by switching to e-scooters for shorter rides. Another study states that around 38.5 million trips were taken on electric scooters all around the US in the year 2018.

Not only the dockless scooters are posing safety problems but also there have been complaints about the ignorance of regulatory measures. Many of the scooter companies opt for asking for forgiveness rather than asking for permission from the city officials. This is leading to struggle for many of the electric scooter rental companies as they are being banned from the cities and are suffering huge losses in the business.

Strategy to avoid such bans and losses includes bringing awareness among your riders for their own safety while riding the electric scooters. Another thing that you can do is to work in collaboration with the city officials instead of working without their permission and facing the wrath.

To increase your profits, you can also launch an electric scooter rental or subscription model for your riders and offer some exciting prices and offers to keep them interested. Developing an e-scooter app to reach your audience can be helpful for your business.

The electric scooter sharing is a part of micro-mobility transportation and the trend is spreading across the cities throughout the world in recent years. These scooters are designed to get people their convenient way of last mile transportation. There is no doubt, with each passing day, scooters are invading cities.

The scooters that we are talking about are dockless ones. These scooters are the ones which are rented and charged per minute, they are battery powered and can zoom down at a speed of 15 mph. These scooters have been available right in the 90s but the technology has made them available outfitted with GPS trackers and wireless connectivity.

Let’s discuss one such dockless e-scooter sharing service app called Wind.

Wind Mobility:

It is a company offering inexpensive, easy and fast transportation for the commuters to travel short distances in cities. The company is based in Berlin. Wind has been in the process of developing its first proprietary model of electric scooters. The point makes these scooters different from others is that they are specifically designed for the scooter sharing market.

Most of the scooters on the market are purchased from Ninebot. These scooters are mostly designed for personal use rather than sharing and so they are not much sturdy for continuous business use. However, unlike these scooters from Ninebot, the scooters built by Wind are specifically designed for sharing and are adorned with longer battery range and swappable battery. These scooters have more capability to hills and they are more fit for sharing. They have even customized their e-scooters to adopt the customer needs and regulatory requirement for certain cities.

Wind mobility has also developed a proprietary IoT technology and communication module for the scooter sharing system. They claim that the module gives out better location accuracy for its scooters. They say that the system is even capable of delivering over-the-air updates to control the functionality of its scooters remotely.

For example, the system can get a scooter light to flash with just a tap on the Wind app. This helps the users and other operational personnel to spot the scooters more easily even at night. The operators are even able to change the speed limit of the fleet in each city through their servers. They can even limit the speed to zero through the communication module if the scooter is taken outside the operating area.

Like every other e-scooter sharing service, the Wind mobility also works to solve the mobility issues in the cities in cooperation with the local government. They also aim to reduce the congestion and pollution in the cities.

The Wind CEO claims that there is huge scope for the scooter sharing services in Europe. There is a growing demand from the city officials to convert the people to use these electric scooters rather than going for cars. Wind aims to be ahead in this transformation.

WIND e scooter sharing companies success :

 

Wind Mobility, the Berlin and Barcelona-based micro mobility startup are disclosing a $50 million in its series A funding. The new round is supported by their existing investors. The company has previously raised $22 million funding from Chinese Source Code Capital and Europe’s HV Holtzbrinck Ventures. This happened when they shifted from bike rentals to focus on e-scooters.

Wind is also revealing the third generation e-scooters which are designed from the ground up for micro mobility sharing. The new bikes are more durable and have much better battery life. They also have the ability to drive 65-80 km between rounds. The battery is hot-swappable. They are much more efficient to run the Wind e-scooter service. This can help to ensure more scooters remain in circulation at any given time. This can potentially increase the revenue per scooter and there is also a reduction in the cost of assembling the dead batteries. These dead batteries can be taken for re-charging as they can be de-coupled from the scooter itself.

The new scooter has the highest waterproofing with the IP67 standard.  It has improved endurance and could be used in a tough sharing environment. This has helped the startup to be strong economically. The e-scooter companies using off-the-shelf-e-scooters created for single ownership and not for commercial purpose.

Here is a chart showing the Wind app ranks 4th in Israel in the Travel and local category:

How does the IoT work with an e-scooter sharing app?

There is a cloud-based solution to enable the sharing of the electric scooters. That includes the capturing and sharing of your scooter utilization data. The data is then used to display the real-time location of the scooters on the company’s computer. Another important thing that you need with your e-scooter is technology with sensors and connectivity that is required to identify the vehicle locations and optimize asset use.

This data enables a person to locate a nearby e-scooter and then pay via app to access it. The e-scooter rental company can check out the history, location, battery status of the e-scooter and other such information directly on their screen.

IoT technology comes in handy when your fleet is spread throughout the city and you need to keep a check on each of your assets. Rather than keeping a manual check, using IoT can help you work efficiently with less manpower. Using a GPS system of user’s cell phone to keep a tab is not as efficient as IoT as it degrades the phone’s battery.

How WIND’s e scooter app works?

Using WIND is as simple as any other e-scooter sharing apps. You can find an e-scooter through the Wind app. Once you find an e-scooter, make sure you adhere to the safety rules. Use helmet while riding. Scan your QR code to unlock and start your ride.

You can take a 10-minute break in between your ride and then click to continue the ride. The payments for the rides can be done securely through the app. Once you reach the destination, you can end your ride with just a tap of the button.

Cost to develop E-scooter app like Wind or Wind  E scooter app clone

We have developed many e-scooter applications for our clients that are running successfully on roads. We believe each business, even if related to the same industry is different. Each e-scooter company has its own USP. Likewise, every app for electric scooter rentals is different. We believe in building from scratch as there is no such thing as a script. App store doesn’t allow clone apps to be listed. So, we build fresh and fantastic every time. We believe in providing our clients with the best possible solution every time we start the e scooter app development.

The cost of an app depends on its features and time required to build it. Here is a chart for the cost and time required to build basic features of the e-scooter app.

However, if you wish to build your app with IoT, it time and cost differs based on whichever features you need and include in the app. But, looking at the current scenario, we can definitely say that IoT powered scooters are the future. We can build an app powered by IoT with amazing features and a great user interface for your business to get a kickstart in the industry.
