In this blog, we will discuss 5 effective steps you can follow to kick off e-scooter rental startup and to be brand within a few months of business. So, without any further due, let’s proceed.

5 effective steps to start the e-scooter rental startup

Step 1: Decide the business boundary first

 
No, developing the e-scooter rental app is not the first step for starting the e-scooter rental business efficiently. And there are reasons behind it. If you end up developing the e-scooter app first (without deciding business boundary and without knowing the market), there are higher chances that your app is missing some exclusive features for exclusive users.

So, why deciding business boundary is the first step?

Perhaps the most important reason for deciding business boundary first is that it tells you about the users and market. And if you know users and market, you can develop the app in such a way that it satisfies the user and market needs in the best possible ways.

Also, deciding business boundary before thinking anything else is very helpful to deploy e-scooters with your company logo in some big cities in the near future. Because, as a newbie, governments of big cities never give you the permit for running an e-scooter rental business. So, here is a piece of advice. Always start with the small. You can deploy e-scooters with a mobile app in the universities of your city, in the airports, in the community halls, and in the small cities. Once you manage to run an e-scooter rental business on a small scale, you can apply for a permit to take the show on the roads of big cities. If you have experience of running an e-scooter rental business (and if you satisfy all other rules of them), governments of big cities will surely grant a permit.

Majority of e-scooter rental companies which are topping the chart have started an e-scooter rental business from universities.

Step 2: Hire e-scooter app developers

 
Before we move ahead, I would like to break your illusions related to ‘hire e-scooter app developers’. First, here ‘hire e-scooter app developers’ means outsourcing app development project to an e-scooter app development company and not to freelance e-scooter app developers. Second, outsourcing app development project to e-scooter app development company does not mean that you are paying them for developing the app from scratch. You can select an app development approach from more than one available choice and save a really great amount of bucks. Here is how.

As a startup, you don’t have to launch your app with all futuristics features. You can start with some basic features. It is always advisable to avoid the custom-built app development approach as it costs you very high and the time taken to develop a custom app is more than 3 months which you as a startup cannot afford. So as an alternative, always opt for either white label e-scooter app solution or e-scooter clone app. The difference between white label solution and clone app is here:

Many e-scooter app development companies own some ready-made e-scooter apps. In the case of a white label solution, they customize the features according to your needs and deliver the app with your branding. While in the case of the e-scooter app clone, they deliver the already-developed app (Which has similar features of some popular apps) without any customization.

We at Coruscate provide a white-label e-scooter solution at the price tag of $10000 or less and e-scooter clone app at the price tag of $7000 or less.

Step 3: Pay heed to hardware

 
Whether you believe it or not, but the governments are quoting poor quality of hardware as the prime reason for e-scooter riders’ injuries. Recently, many local authorities banned the e-scooters over the concern of people’s safety. But many of those authorities granted permits to companies which upgraded the e-scooter hardware along with software. This clearly depicts that governments are more interested in hardware quality than anything else. In case, you are planning to deploy e-scooters in a university, the authority of that particular university will also take hardware quality into account.

Additionally, a hand-picked e-scooter increases the user experience and avails you to attract more users. In a city like San Francisco and Melbourne where the hilly terrain is a challenge for e-scooters, offering e-scooters with high power helps users to ride in challenging terrain which eventually makes them feel that your e-scooters worth their dollars. If you are deploying e-scooters in universities and community halls, power will not be an issue, but the tyres will be as the floor of such kind of properties is having less friction than the asphalt roads. Meaning, you need to customize the tyres.

Also, a reliable e-scooter comes across very less number of mechanical faults and reduces the operation cost. Considering the fact that an e-scooter rental company has to spend over 50% of one e-scooter’s earning on the maintenance of it, having a reliable e-scooter which demands less maintenance is a very big deal.

4) Define a profitable business model

 
Governments want e-scooter rental business owners to offer very affordable e-scooter rental service to users. And business owners want to earn more with the help of a premium business model. But for the sake of earning more money, business owners cannot disobey the rules. So what is the alternative? Here it is.

A precisely crafted business model is the answer. In the e-scooter rental business, the profit is basically calculated based on the per ride, per e-scooter. And just because of this, the significance of the business model is very high in the e-scooter rental business. A properly crafted business model adds a few cents in the earning coming from one e-scooter, one ride. But if you have a fleet of 1000 e-scooters which combined complete 5000 rides daily, then even an increase of a few cents can increase the ultimate profit by hundreds of bucks.

If you follow these simple 4 steps and start an e-scooter rental business on a small scale, you will one day become eligible for the big urban city.

5) Expand the business boundary

 
After running the e-scooter rental business successfully in small cities, universities or community halls, it is time to achieve the ultimate goal.

The best way to get a permit in a big city is entertaining the city’s e-scooter rental pilot project. Many big cities launch pilot projects before giving a permanent place to e-scooter rental companies. If you satisfy all of their terms and prove your worthiness during the time period of the pilot project, nothing can stop you from getting the long-term business permit. However, to get a long-term permit or even the place in the pilot project, you have to satisfy the rules and regulations of local authorities. But since you have already been running a successful e-scooter rental business on a small-medium scale, you can easily assure the local authorities that you will not violate any of the rules. This is why defining the business boundary is the most fundamental step to raise from the ashes and visit the valley of flowers.

In the nutshell

 
To be successful ‘tomorrow’, keep an eagle eye on things you will require ‘tomorrow’ which you can collect and claim ‘today’, more easily than ‘tomorrow’.

There are thousands of e-scooters filling up the streets of Germany. That started with the green signal that these e-scooters got in the summer. There have been words about putting stronger rules and regulations and even bans as people were fearful of the injuries caused by accidents.

Though there were people saying e-scooters are not good enough, a majority of them, almost 52% of people backed the E-scooters arrival in Germany.

How popular are e-scooters?

 
Most people in the local areas have responded affirmatively about the use of e-scooters in Germany. The exact number as per the studies nodding their heads for using e-scooters has been 56%. Another 16 percent said that even though they have not yet used e-scooters, they would still like to.

There are some authorities who have called in to enhance the safety standards and restraints to be put in places, such as designated parking zones and compulsory helmets.

In Berlin, the e-scooters are a good addition to help people to travel to the train stations. These e-scooters could help decrease short bus trips. But there are some rules need to be implemented to keep people off the pavement and to restrict bad parking. They might even have docking stations like some bike-sharing systems.

They are also bringing in the possibilities of the mix of transportation options required for the people to move away from cars. Since the e-scooters have environmental benefits people are ready to put up with them even when they find them a bit annoying.

Is riding e-scooters safe?

 
Well, there has been a real mix of comments about this issue. The response that most people have been answering is that the safety of these e-scooters can be increased with the coming times. Some people even answered that these e-scooters are fun to ride but at the same time, they are dangerous. People complained that it was almost impossible to give the turn signal while riding. Many people pointed out that the e-scooter riders were more careless on the roads than other users.

Some have said that these bikes are awesome and super convenient but others say that they could help in the fight against climate change. Also, many others comment that these e-scooters make getting A to B fun.

Another thing about e-scooters hitting the streets of Omaha, Nebraska has seen the police threatening users with tickets for riding on the sidewalk. The riders were shown on a local news channel riding the Lime hire scooters along the wide streets of Old Market Instead of zipping along. The streets in the town are covered with small red cobbles which are problematic for the tiny wheels of the scooters. People still feel that you are innovating and disrupting there is always a clash of thoughts.

When it comes to London and other British cities in the 1835 Highways Act recently are making illegal use as an example of cutting-edge technology getting into heads with the 19th-century legislation. But even after so many years of the dockless scooters running on the roads, many cities are facing similar problems like Omaha.

They are confused if they should welcome the scooters with open arms like the city of Antwerp or go for a permit system like San Francisco or should they make use of data like Portland, Oregon?

When e-scooters first emerged in Santa Monica in California, there were no rules imposed but as there was a criminal complaint against them the city officials took action. The city was bestowed $300,000 in fines and license fees. San Francisco saw a similar pattern of effect. There were complaints all over that the users were riding on sidewalks, e-scooters obstructing walker space, and broken scooters left stranded.

To undertake these problems, the city leaders proposed a permit system without which scooter businesses could not function.

Market Scope of E scooter ride sharing business:

 
What’s happening in the e-scooter business currently?

With the changing times, the e-scooter businesses have thought of ways to tackle all these problems. They have made collaborations with the city officials in different cities and are bringing up some really advanced safety measures.

There are opportunities in the dockless scooter business as the data shows. The potential is the strongest in moving the short leisure and recreational trips rather than going in the cars.

But as the cities have it to their advantage the officials pull up permits and designate service zones, check numbers and implement operational standards. If businesses don’t comply, cities need the power to cancel licenses.

Portland, Oregon, supported e-scooters entree to the city on a trial basis between July and November 2018. They put forth the condition that the businesses have to share their data and operated in underserved parts of the city – not just downtown.

The e-scooters have conquered the continents of the USA and the UK completely and they are slowly becoming a familiar face all around the world. After startups like Bird, Lime, Scoot, and VOI, many other startups joined the forces to conquer the world with micro-mobility. This revolution has definitely changed how people used to think about transportation.

There are more place and pace for the startups to join the e-scooter business. With the growing trend, e-scooter manufacturers are coming up every day with some new and sturdy model of e-scooters. There are also apps for the e-scooter charging stations. Not only that the e-scooters are now available which runs on solar energy. One recent addition to the lightweight micro-mobility is the Tortoise e-scooter.

Kick-off e-scooter rental business in 6 steps

 
Starting an e-scooter sharing business is rocky. But if you follow these 6 steps, it will be as easy as pie.

The post E-scooter App Development Encyclopedia: 30+ blogs in one blog! (Categorized) appeared first on Coruscate Solutions.

In the presence of 5G technology and Blockchain applications, data is the most valuable asset of any kind of online business. Specifically for the mobility business, having a large amount of user data and usage data means a pot of gold! Business owners of mobility startup can make capital out of user and usage data in so many ways like selling the data of urban infrastructure and traffic patterns to the government or using the same data to improve your business efficiency.

However, to achieve so, you need to decode the major four challenges associated with big data. By a lucky chance, we have covered the same thing in this blog. In addition to these 4 challenges, we will also wrap our mind around the benefits you can derive for your e-scooter rental business after decoding big data challenges.

So, without any further due, let’s proceed.

Challenge 1: Data Storing

 
The amount of data being produced has grown rapidly and as a result, the action to store a bit much data has become ruthless. Today, the data from the e-scooter app installment to app usage and payment deserve to be stored as these data make the e-scooter rental business profitable in so many ways. (Which we are going to discuss later in this blog.)

But data storing isn’t as easy as it sounds. The most fundamental requirement for data storing is to have a module that stores data of every activity of users such as e-scooter finding, payment, pick-up location, destination, riding time, stopping time and many more. However, the most obvious data collected by e-scooter rental companies are related to trips.

Once you achieve this, you need to go through the next big challenge – infrastructure.

Data occupy the space and big data occupy a lot of space! So, if you are planning to store the usage and user data of riders, you will surely need an online space where every data of riders gets stored automatically, thanks to the module we have discussed just a while ago.

Hold your horses, you are still halfway to start deriving business benefits from big data!

The biggest challenge in big data storing is the security of the data. Security threats include vulnerability to fake data generation, access control with poor granularity, and the presence of untrusted mapper. Though these security threats can make significant damage to your business processes, the best thing about them is that they all are solvable. Coruscate is among the few e-scooter app development companies which have earned expertise to build an affordable and secure big data storing infrastructure.

Benefits of storing big data successfully

 
Data storing is the basic requirement to derive business benefits from big data. If you successfully manage to store every usage and user data, you can easily decode the next big challenge associated with big data – data processing – which reveals the meaningful relations between different data entities.

Challenge 2: Data Processing

 
The data you store in big data storing phase is like the maze which you cannot use anywhere. In order to make it usable, you have to bring meanings out of it. These meanings are always in the relations with at least one or more data entities, except data with no dependency on other entities, like, start_time.

To bring meanings out of unorganized data, you have to employ a few state-of-the-art machine learning or AI algorithms. One of the most useful data processing algorithms is a Genetic Algorithm. It takes an unorganized large data set as the ‘population’ and finds the fittest ‘population’ which is nothing but the data entities with the highest probability of similarity between more than one data entity.

The final result seems like this,

Near a park, if the demand is higher at X%, the actual cost (fare) increases by Y%.

Benefits of completing data processing successfully

 
A successful data processing phase does not only present the meaningful relations between different data entities but it makes you accessible to avail benefits from the remaining two most important big data challenges.

Challenge 3: Data sharing

 
Data sharing is nothing but allowing anyone to use your data for achieving a relevant target. Many research institutes generally share their data with investors, entrepreneurs, and companies to help them in satisfying their business needs.

Talking specifically about the mobility business like an e-scooter rental business, data sharing implies sharing the raw data which you store in the data storing phase or sharing the meaningful relations which you bring out from raw data, with anyone including government.

In fact, in many cities, local authorities have imposed a rule to share all usage data with them at the end of every operational day. Governments then use this usage data of your e-scooter rental business to build an efficient traffic management system and to identify the streets most in need of a redesign. The reason why municipalities want you to share usage data with them is because of the amount of the city’s data your smart e-scooters and e-scooter mobile app are collecting.

One of the most prominent mobility companies, Uber, has already been sharing the data with governments, urban planners, marketing firms, and similar service providing companies under its newly launched program called Uber Movement. The following image depicts how Uber has turned raw data into a robust product that gives insight into the city’s road network, travel time and average speed.

However, big data sharing is the challenge and the major reasons why it is quoted as a challenge are security, cost, and legal norms. With Coruscate, you can smoothly decode this challenge and share data efficiently, thanks to our proven data sharing methodology.

Benefits of sharing data successfully

• If you are operating your e-scooter rental business in a city where it is a rule to share usage data with local authorities, the data sharing module in your admin panel makes it really easy for you. It does not only identify the necessary data from the raw data and from the organized data, but it sends these data to local authorities automatically.
• And if you are not operating your business in such a restricted location, you can share these data to the government and other companies and ask money in return.

Challenge 4: Data usage

 
The success of the business highly relies on strategic decisions. But the success of the online e-scooter rental business highly relies on the data-driven strategic decisions!

Once you have the raw data and meaningful relations between the data entities, you can make your business decisions based on these data and not based on your gut feeling. However, it is a very tedious process to understand the raw data and even the organized data and this is why big data usage is considered as a challenge.

To decode this challenge, an admin panel equipped with business intelligence is crucial. This business intelligence module or admin panel feature analyzes the historic data of your business and exhibits a few most fundamental aspects of your business such as time and location-based demand, battery consumption and customers’ queries. So, now after studying this data, you can make accurate strategic business decisions.

Benefits of using big data successfully

 
Considering the fact that the BI module of the admin panel analyzes the big data and gives you a broader picture of your business in a very understandable manner, you can derive the following benefits.

• You can deploy a fleet of e-scooters according to the demand of different locations.
• You can make changes into the hardware or intensify the charging force according to the battery consumption rate.
• You can know the location-based customer satisfaction rate and the factors responsible for the high or low customer satisfaction rate of a particular location.

Though in the beginning, e-scooters faced a lot of challenges, they overcame them step by step luring the common man. The e-scooters proved to be eco-friendly and pocket-friendly as well. But even after a lot of efforts the e-scooters had to face the wrath of city officials for their e-scooters launched on the road without the permission. The scooter startups were concerned about the city regulations as these could make or break their businesses across nearly every aspect of operations.

The two major impacts faced by the business are ridership growth and ability to attract investor dollars. The city officials are now issuing permits and determining how many scooters any one company can operate at any one time. They are also enforcing low-income plans and impacting product roadmaps.

Hellobike plans to lead China’s two-wheeler transport market as bike-sharing rivals struggle

Meanwhile, the two-wheelers with motors have brought a new charm to the cities. And one of the main members of the e-scooter industry is a survivor from the bike-sharing fad. Hellobike presents a range of mobility services to its 230 million registered users. The mobility services include shared e-bikes and rented electric scooters. Hellobike has received fundings from the world’s most worthy FinTech company Ant Financial through its Series D to F funding rounds. 

How Hellobike started its business in China?

 
Hellobike was first launched in 2016 by placing shared bikes in smaller cities and towns. They targeted the places where Ofo and Mobike were mostly absent. They avoided targeting populous metropolitan centers like Beijing and Shanghai. Due to this strategy, Hellobike could largely avoid the cash splurging rivalry against Ofo and Mobike.

The electric push of Hellobike has begun due to its operational efficiency. At the same time, Ofo is struggling with a major financial crisis as it copes to repay user deposits. It’s rival, Mobike has quieted down increase since it was sold to Hong Kong-listed local services monster Meituan. According to a piece of recent news in TechCrunch, Hellobike’s chief financial officer Fischer Chen explained that when Ofo and Mobike were at war, they did not get any idea of expanding the business into the electric bikes. He said that the competition in the electric bike business was rational as there was no price war for e-bikes from the start as such.

The two-wheeled electric vehicles are in high demand in the country with a population of nearly 1.4 billion people. The data collected by Hellobike suggested that nearly 300 million rides are completed on analog bikes every day in China. Many of them still do not realize that the pedal-assist electric bikes and pedal-free scooters generate 700 million rides per day. This number is double the number of bike rides. 

The functioning strategy of Hellobiken to learn from:

 
There are more advantages to rent rather than buying an electric bike in China. There is no stress of thinking about the vehicle getting stolen and at the same time, one can find a safe ride with the electric vehicles. But finding a suitable charging spot can be a challenge in China.

Hellobike has a solution to this problem by putting up charging stations. They considered doing it as they went about offering shared e-bikes in the year 2017. Riders exchange their battery out for a new one without having to plug in and wait at these booths. The riders have an option to pay via Alipay, Ant’s mobile wallet with a one-billion user base.

Hellobike has captured 80% of the market share of all the monthly two-wheeler electric bikes activity in China. The company accounts for 60-70% for bike-sharing. It is difficult to confirm the share just by looking at the data compiled by third-party app trackers. These trackers don’t normally break out the user number for unique features.

Hellobike runs like a main two-wheeler business and it intends to capture the small-town customers who are looking for pocket-friendly options for the commute. However, Hellobike app is a one-stop-shop for bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters as well as carpooling apart from the two-wheelers. But the Hellobike app has a major complication as the rides are accessed directly on Alipay rather than its own app.

On the other hand, Meituan has turned Mobike into one of its all-in-one service apps just like Hellobike.

Hellobike does not face many big competitors when it comes to competition in electric two-wheelers. Even after that, they are facing difficulties in adding new features to their existing app and also at the same time, they are facing troubles in acquiring online users.

But it is worth noting that other internet titans have also set their vision on plugged-in micro-mobility. The competition is getting tougher with both Mobike and ride-sharing leader Didi Chuxing introducing their own e-bike sharing programs. The participants need to cope up with China’s more severe rules for electric bicycles.

We can certainly be sure about Hellobike having great dreams for electric micro-mobility. As the shared bikes and e-bikes are meant to be ridden by one user at a time, Hellobike is planning to engage these e-scooters for a more extended period of time as many people might want the powered-up vehicles for their daily transportation.

To fulfill the demand of its users Hellobike has founded a new joint venture. They have partnered with Ant, controlled by Alibaba founder Jack Ma. At the same time, they have partnered with China’s top battery manufacturer CATL. Hellobike is targeting millions of migrant workers in Chinese cities. They are launching a rental marketplace for its 25 km/h e-scooters slowly in the Chinese market.
 

The business model of Hellobike which you can follow: Which you can use in Hellobike Clone app or in your e scooter app

 
It is not convenient for people to buy an e-scooter which will cost thousands of yuan if they might be leaving the city after a year. So, Hellobike came up with a third-party partner with a new rental business model. In this business model, people pay about 200 yuan a month to use the scooter. This business model helps to convert people from buying vehicles and pay for the services and rent these vehicles. 

Lessons to lean from Hellobike to build successful e scooter ride sharing business in China:

 
You need to install more battery-swapping stations nationwide that not only recharge the e-bikes but also the e-scooters. You need to partner with the battery manufacturers in order to do that.

You need to function as a platform instead of competing with the traditional scooter manufacturers. Allow the scooter manufacturers to use their designs and just add some smart hardware and technology to get things going.

Do not make a mistake in running behind big cities instead you can focus on the small towns and attract more users to use your service.

Remember, China’s main bike-sharing companies have earned profits during their peak season with these tricks and Coruscate can be your best technology partner to help you out with all your requirements for your e-scooter business.
