However, in recent times, harsh government rules, cut-throat competition, and fatal e-scooter accidents have affected the e-scooter usage rate and e-scooter rental business profitability very badly. But some e-scooter rental companies have already sensed the unsettled future of the micro-mobility business and thus, they’ve come up with a unique and money-making business model. They bring e-scooters in the tourism industry to save dying e-scooter culture in many profitable markets and derive many other benefits from the ever-growing tourism industry. 

In this blog, we will discuss the Australia-based e-scooter rental company called RIDE which has introduced a new business model for e-scooter rental business and successfully put forth a workable idea of rubbing out the line between e-scooter industry and tourism industry. But before revealing that new business model and talking about the RIDE, let’s first learn about the traditional business models of the e-scooter rental business. 

Most popular and conventional business models of the e-scooter rental business

Looking at the success of some early players, many new startups are jumping into the niche by hiring e-scooter app development companies to develop an e-scooter app. Since e-scooter app development is no longer the novelty, both app owners and e-scooter app development companies employ latest technologies and manage to accommodate some groundbreaking features into their apps which sometimes surpass the feature-set of the some most popular e-scooter apps. But when it comes to the business model of the e-scooter rental business, they generally follow the conventional e-scooter rental business models and end-up reaching break-even point too late. (To break-even early, you should introduce a new business model which you will get to know really soon in this blog! Just hold on!)

Following are the top two business models which are very common in the micro-mobility market.  

• Letting users hire e-scooters and charge them per minute 

Including some big players like Bird, Lime and Jump, almost all e-scooter startups are running their business on this business model which is really profitable if business terrain is not overly intensified. In this business model, basically, e-scooter startups allow users to hire the e-scooter by paying $1 to unlock the e-scooter and 25-35 cents per minute of the ride. 

This business model has a very significant disadvantage which is low customer retention rate due to high price. Since a user is charged per minute, a 2 kilometers ride which takes easily 10-15 minutes costs users more than $6. Specifically, in cities where one can use the weekly or monthly pass in public transportation — a more affordable option to travel in an urban area — people do not prefer e-scooters.   

• Charging a flat fee and letting users own e-scooter for a limited period  

Subscription business model in e-scooter rental business works the same as the subscription model of other services. In the subscription model, e-scooter rental companies let users buy the month-long subscription of the e-scooter which is later delivered to the buyer to own and use it until subscription period ends. This business model is doing wonders for many micro-mobility startups. But they have limited customers who can afford a very high security-deposit and have the financial freedom to pay damage charges if they damage the e-scooter during the use. Because of this only disadvantage, only a few micro-mobility startups have adopted this business model. 

If we talk broadly, out of two possible business models of the e-scooter rental business, there is only one purposeful business model which a small-medium scale startup can opt for. Meaning, small-medium scale startups have to work on ‘business model innovation’ to not rely on only one revenue stream. An Australia-based e-scooter sharing company named RIDE has become the first ride-sharing company to innovate the e-scooter rental business model after marrying micro-mobility industry with the most lucrative Australian tourism industry. 

So, now let’s discuss the newest business model of the micro-mobility industry.  

Guided city tour on e-scooters – a financially rewarding business model of an e-scooter rental business     

Needless to say that low-cost and emission-free e-scooters are the best mode of urban transportation. Though students, daily commuters and tourists are the major users of the e-scooters, e-scooter rental companies only target students and daily commuters in their marketing campaign as it is difficult to target overseas people who will someday be tourists of the city where that e-scooter rental company is running its business. Lack of awareness about e-scooters and safety standards among tourists is another reason why an e-scooter rental company can’t let any tourist enjoy the e-scooter ride all alone. However, RIDE has found a way to decode these challenges. After all, Keeping the most profitable user group (tourists) out of sales-life cycle is not the entrepreneurial mindset! 

RIDE offers a way to explore a city on e-scooters in a very secure, fun, easy and affordable way. Through its e-scooter app and website, it welcomes users to book a guided tour of the Adelaide city ( where RIDE is currently operating its business) on e-scooters. Since the group of tourists is always accompanied by the guide who also looks after the safety of riders, tourists can explore the city in the best possible way. The guided tour package of RIDE starts from $45 AUD. 

So, now when you know about the business model which we have been mentioning from the first line of this blog, let’s find out whether this business model is workable or not.     

Guided city tour on e-scooters – is it a workable idea?

When a tourist lands in a new city, he wants to explore the city while having fun and not causing trouble to his budget. 

If he chooses public transportation to roam around the city, he can surely save a few bucks, but he can’t have fun as travelling in crowded metro trains and buses is not something a tourist is looking for when he is on vacation!

And if he rents a car to have fun while exploring the city, his idea hits his pocket very badly. So, what is the alternative? The answer is an e-scooter. 

An e-scooter does justice with both requirements of the tourists in the best possible way. Hence, we can firmly say that guided tour of cities on e-scooters is a sustainable idea. However, there are some factors which affect this business model. 

Factors affecting – Guided city tour on e-scooters

We just have discussed and come to the conclusion that the integration of e-scooter and tourism industry give fruitful results to both users and businesses of these two industries. But to be able to claim those rewards, you should take two factors into account. 

• If you wish to add this business model in your e-scooter rental business, you should first study the weather of your business area. If the weather remains unpleasant throughout the year, tourists will not ride e-scooters to explore the city due to many obvious reasons. 
• If you wish to add this business model in your e-scooter rental business, you will need an e-scooter app with an extra feature which lets users book the guided city tour on e-scooters and lets guide to validate the booked ticket of every user.

Herein, Know how much does it cost to develop an e-scooter app with custom features.

The bike companies like Yamaha, Kawasaki, Harley Davidson, Honda, TVS and many more have been in the analysis and development stage for a few electric scooters and e-bikes for the most beneficial part of a decade. 

With the declining prices of the batteries, it is expected to generate promising opportunities for the businesses. The growing need for fuel-efficient wheels due to growing anxieties over carbon and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) effusions is expected to push the demand for electric scooters (e-scooters) in the years to come. 

There has been an incorporation of regenerative braking, low noise levels, comparatively economical maintenance costs, and high production facility are also driving the product demand. Furthermore, e-scooters are fuel-efficient, eco-friendly, simple to handle, and compressed in size, which is also raising their demand. 

The growing adoption of e-scooter sharing services in countries like France, Germany, the U.S., and Spain, has also encouraged the demand for e-scooters. The e-scooter companies like Bird, Lime, Spin, Jump, and Razor extending these e-scooter rental services are obtaining e-scooters primarily from the manufacturers, such as Ninebot-Segway, Gogoro, Inc., and Xiaomi. These services are active in more than 90 cities and various universities across the globe.

The growing financial and non-financial considerations are also promoting the product choice. The increasing need for modernized transportation and sustainable public mobility are encouraging the transition from traditional to electric modes of transport. Electric scooters are foreseen to have concrete implications on air quality and energy security, providing the renewable energy segment more prominence in the power sector. 

The governments all over the world are concentrating on increasing product penetration through various programs, such as R&D drives. For example, the Canadian government is promoting a policy to overcome the country’s GHG emission consequences and improve the number of zero-emission vehicles. Likewise, in the U.S., the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) models are generating the selection of energy-efficient vehicles by forming regulations for the decrease of fossil fuel exhaustion and improving utilization of alternative fuel vehicles. This, in turn, produces a highly favourable environment for market growth. 

In the last couple of years, opinions have started to change: the number of investments being made by OEMs into start-ups has picked-up, and declared of new plans for electric models tends to be a weekly / monthly occurrence rather than an annual one. 

They are not just focusing on high power models. But the low speed and power bike sales are growing more. Especially in Europe where over a third of the market comes from Germany, the bicycles are retrofitted with a battery on the frame. The progress has been fired by imports from China and Taiwan, making prices to drop. The innovative new business models like e-cargo delivery and dockless e-bike sharing services have been other things to push the e-scooters. 

2019 highlights for the e-scooter market:

• VOI raised $85 million in the seed funding round
• Singapore’s Neuron mobility raised $18.5 million
• Bird raised $2.5 billion valuation
• Berlin-based e-scooter startup TIER raised €55 million Series B funding round
• E-scooter rental service Bird raised $275 million and doubled its valuation to $2 billion in 4 months.
• E-scooter startup Zypp raised INR 15 crore
• Unagi Scooters scores $3.15 million
• Bajaj invested $8 million in e-scooter company Yulu.
• Electric Scooter manufacturer Ather Energy raised $51 million

E-scooters have manifested themselves as a lost treasure. Of course, there have been some improvisations in the original model to promote transportation along with user experience. The on-demand model in the transport market has been drawing entrepreneurs due to its pragmatic functions. Its quick acceptance by industries and public evenly is a result of the rusticity of the idea. 

• Electric Scooter market is anticipated to approach USD 41.98 billion by 2030
• Throughout the 2030 forecast period, Asia Pacific is foreseen to drive the market
• Asia Pacific e-scooter market will reach USD 26.25 billion

• By 2025, the electric scooter and e-bike market will be worth $13, 864.0 million 
• By the year 2028, 129 million units of e-scooters and e-bikes will be running on the roads as anticipated by the various reports. 
• The e-scooter market is expected to account for 8% of all the two-wheeler vehicles on the road. 

Players of E-Scooter Industry 

Let’s discuss the major players or startups making it big in the e-scooter industry.

⇒ Bird

Bird, an e-scooter market was valued at  $2 billion in its initial four months. As of October 2018, the expected income earned by Bird company was around $250 million. The gross income is calculated at 19%. The wealth growth Bird was marked at $65 million as of May 2018, making it one of the quickest and most important E-Scooter companies.

⇒ Lime

Lime was the e-scooter industry trend-setter. The company walked behind Bird and crossed the valuation mark of $1.1 billion in only 18 months of its launch. The lime e-scooters were immediately adopted by the users and by the end of the year 2018, the company managed to collect $500 million as revenue. 

What is the future of e-scooter app development?

The e-scooter model is being adopted on a large scale across the globe and is expected to improve in the coming time. Entrepreneurs can expect huge opportunities in the industry with the rising demands and increasing awareness among common man. People are switching to electric vehicles and e-scooters are deemed as the easiest way to travel for daily commutation. 2020 trends will take the e-scooter models to the next level with enhanced features and looks. 

If you are interested to grab the chance and make profits, you need an e-scooter app to join the competition. Rohak provides you with an unparallel opportunity to earn huge profits with fewer investments.

But with the increasing competition in the industry, it is important to find out what can make your e-scooter app stand out. Here is an interesting business tactic that can make you the best electric scooter app startup. Consider a subscription model like Bolt-bike for the gig delivery workers which can make the business more profitable.

The Sydney-based startup, Bolt Bikes was founded in the year 2017. It is taking the electric bike platform which was previously used only for the individual commute to commercial commute. They are taking the electric bike platform to gig economy delivery workers.

The company is expanding with its generation of $2.5 million seed round which was led by Maniv mobility, European e-mobility firm Contrarian Ventures, personal investors and previous executives of Uber and Deliveroo.  The firm was founded by Mina Nada who was previously working with Deliveroo and Mobike, Michael Johnson who was working with Bain & Co. executive.

Bolt bike has now launched a flexible subscription model. They include vehicle servicing, in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, San Francisco and London.  The company is majorly known for selling e-bikes. It is not entering the premise to rent them out for commercial use. The electric bikes it rents are based on a week-to-week contract costing $39. 

The Bolt Bikes platform covers the electric bike, fleet management software, funding and servicing. Subscribers are allowed to use the bikes for 24-hours. The first week is offered by the company as a free trial. Along with the bike, users also get a battery charger, phone holder, phone USB port, secure U-Lock and safety induction is added.

Since they were in the food delivery industry from the beginning, the founders saw that the light electric vehicles were the real future of ‘last mile’ logistics. They saw that there was no one in the industry who was offering the right vehicle or financing or maintenance solution. The Bolt Bikes has stimulated the curiosity of more than investors. Postmates has been managing a Bolt Bikes rental program in San Francisco after June. And the organisation has ambitions to expand its fleet and to extend to more cities in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.

Bolt Bikes provides weekly subscriptions to the most desirable e-bike for delivery. It’s a hassle-free alternative to make deliveries. They are not compromising on power, battery size or safety. Everything is available at affordable prices. The bike rent involves servicing, repairs and replacement vehicles to keep you protected and on the road all the time. Week to week compliance indicates the person is allowed to stoped any time.

According to recent studies, the global electric scooter market size was evaluated at USD 17.43 billion in 2018 to observe a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. It is expected to reach USD 41.98 billion by 2030.

According to McKinsey & Company, the e-scooter industry is experiencing its emergence. It is unveiled for 2030, that the U.S. e-scooter industry is deserving $200 billion to $300 billion, $100 billion to $150 billion in Europe, and $30 billion to $50 billion in China.

The countries with the highest transportation concern which you can recognise for flourishing e-scooter app development are California, Texas, Columbia, Maryland.

The e-scooter app sector has succeeded to become the next best alternative transport. The e-scooters has demonstrated to be an assuring last-mile commute service. With the increasing population, the methods of transport also have to be progressed.  Looking at the current statistics of on-demand e-scooter industry, we can definitely say that the e-scooter business is expected to be the most profitable business. 

Adopting the subscription model like Bolt Bikes can be a great business model to increase your profitability. 

However, if you are thinking about starting a new business venture, you should consider the road and safety rules of each city documented for e-scooter riding. There are many cities that don’t allow the e-scooters to operate. So, make sure you are on the safer side and get the necessary permissions to get your business started in the city and get your fleet on the streets.

Keep yourself away from the legal battle and keep in touch with the municipalities of the different cities to understand the rules and regulations. 

Gig economy workers are both freelancers or part-time operators who don’t work as professionally as the hired permanent staff. It reduces the overall business cost. So, many food delivery companies are opting for such people. Providing the e-scooters as commercial transport for such workers with a flexible subscription model saves them from spending a lot of cost for the workers. 

The easiest and most affordable way to develop an e-scooter app for gig-workers

Opting for Rohak for launching your e-scooter app gets you the benefits of help with the laws and regulations in various cities.

Earlier this year, a surge in electric scooter firms was witnessed in the San Francisco Bay Area cities without the consent of the municipalities, hinting the city of San Jose to analyse fighting technology with technology to restrain these dockless scooters as they rush around the city. This led to the consideration of working on geofencing to figure out how to get the e-scooters to de-activate on sidewalks but turn on when they are actually in bike lanes quoted the San Jose Mayor Sam  Liccardo at the Mayor Summit. 

The charm of GPS may help everyone to get a technological solution. Geofencing is being considered as a possible solution to the circumstances where people riding dockless scooters, as well as dockless bicycles, are dashing through areas where pedestrians walk, or when riders drop them in doorways of businesses — or even in city lakes.

What is Geo-fencing?

A geofencing is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area. It can be dynamically generated in a radius around some point location. A geofencing involves a location-aware device of a location-based service (LBS) user entering or exiting a geo-fence. 

This action could trigger a warning to the device’s user and could send a message to the geo-fence operator. This information could contain the location of the device and can be sent to a smartphone or email account. Geofencing is helpful in a security strategy model as it provides security when there are predefined borders for the e-scooters done by positioning technology attached to a server. 

Pilot E-scooters in Chicago

In assessing the influence of scooters in Chicago, important equity questions have to be approached. The laws of the pilot need vendors to have to adhere to equity criteria. The companies are asked to offer services for people without credit cards or smartphones. Also, the company owners have to submit a plan for hiring local residents and working with local businesses.

To ensure user safety,  vendors will be expected to conduct an education campaign to assure users know to safely drive and correctly park the e-scooters. This will involve in-app educational materials for first-time users. Users will also be asked to take a post-ride photo as proof that they have parked their scooters correctly and out of the way of pedestrians.

The e-scooters must be provided with a warning bell, front white light, rear red light, and hand and foot brakes. They must also have the contact information and a 24/7 customer service phone number. The city is moving forward with the pilot program and Lime e-scooters is recently submitting the application offering value to Chicago by providing a more affordable, equitable transportation solution that helps get people out of cars.

The geofencing technology will stop the users if they try to leave the pilot zone! Looking at the user safety scenarios across the world, geofencing seems to be the answer for the cities where e-scooters are facing a lot of challenges. 

Technical aspects of geofencing

Geofencing connects recognition of the user’s current location with information of the user’s vicinity to locations that may be of concern. While marking the location of interest, a developer needs to specify its latitude and longitude. A radius needs to be added to adjust the proximity for the location. The latitude, longitude, and radius determine a geofence, generating a circular area, or fence, around the location of interest.

The e-scooter companies can have multiple active geofences with a limit of 100 per app, per device user. They can ask the location services to send them the entrance and exit events for every geofence. 

As an e-scooter company owner, you can ask for a specific duration within the geofence area to wait, or dwell, before triggering an event. The duration can be limited to a certain duration of any geofence by specifying an expiration duration in milliseconds.

While requesting geofencing, the first step is to request the necessary permission.  To start using geofencing, you need to request ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION through your app. The app targeting Android 10 (API level 29) or higher needs to request ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION.

While requesting the necessary permissions you can add them as child elements of the <manifest> element in your app manifest:

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”/>

<!– Required if your app targets Android 10 (API level 29) or higher –>

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION”/>

You can also use a BroadcastReceiver to listen for geofence transitions.

Your app is required to create and add geofences utilising the location API’s builder class for building Geofence objects, and the convenience class for adding them. In order to manage the intents sent from Location Services when geofence transitions happen, a PendingIntent can be defined. 

Later comes creating the object and handling geofencing transitions. 

The best practices for geofencing are as follows:

Lessen power consumption

Using these techniques can help to optimize power consumption in your apps that use geofencing:

• Set the notification responsiveness to a greater value. It enhances power consumption by improving the latency of geofence alerts. 
• Using a larger geofence radius for locations where a user spends a significant amount of time, such as home or work can prove more efficient. It decreases the frequency at which the app checks for entrance or exit, dramatically lowering overall power consumption.

Choosing the optimal radius for your geofence

The minimum radius of the geofence should be set between 100 – 150 meters to get better results. The location accuracy is between 20 – 50 meters whenever Wi-Fi is available. The accuracy range can be as small as 5 meters when an indoor location is available. In rural areas, the location accuracy degrades.

Dwell transition model to lessen alert spam

The dwelling alert is sent only in the case when the user halts inside a geofence for a certain time. You can determine the term by setting a loitering delay.

The electric scooter rental company Lime has its fleet in more than 100 cities worldwide and can be used by people with an app on their smartphone. They have now brought revolution to Cape Town. And the Lime stated that the first rentals would be kept at privately-owned locations throughout the city. The Lime app presents locations of scooters near the rider to make it easier for them to find it.

The Lime scooters are available on public pavements in the US and European locations. The scooters can be unlocked with the app and ride to the destination and dropped at a charging point. The rental cost is debited from the user’s credit card.

In Africa, Cape Town is helping in leading the way forward in terms of technology and innovation. And Lime’s operations and strategy head Wayne Ting stated that they are excited to be a part of that story. Lime’s mission is to enhance urban living through sustainable, affordable transport. Lime is looking to expanding essential mobility access and lessened carbon emissions to South Africans living in and traveling to Cape Town.

Lime is funded by Uber and Google-parent Alphabet. According to their statement, about one in three scooter rides in 26 of its locations around the world substitutes a trip by car.

A survey was conducted for 4,500 French commuters by a research group. They found that one in five used scooters to get to work or school, while more than 40% of users were out-of-town visitors. If they didn’t have access, 44% of respondents told that they would have preferred walking, 12% would have opted for cycling and 30% would have used public transport.

These findings pitched suspicion on claims that electric scooters decrease car traffic, though consulting firm McKinsey said they had the potential to reduce car traffic and carbon emissions. 

In a McKinsey report, it was stated that micro-mobility could probably incorporate all customer trips of less than 8km, which value for as much as 50% to 60% of today’s total passenger miles traveled in China, the EU, and the US.

The head of mobility at Ademe, the French government agency for energy efficiency, Jeremie Almosni said that the fact is half of the usage is recreational and it is striking. This is definitely a way to get more people to use it and favors a more mixed-use of transport. This can also encourage people to give up cars.

Electric bike safety rules in South Africa:

The rules for safety in South Africa are as follows:

• People are allowed to ride in the allocated bike lanes and concrete bike paths when available.
• Riders have to ride in the same direction as the traffic, they cannot ride in the opposite direction.
• The riders can bring a water bottle with them and keep it in the provided water bottle cages.
• Riders are warned of parked cars as doors may open into the street.
• The riders are warned to check over their shoulders before turning or changing lanes. 
• The riders are encouraged to use the equipped bungee with rack and affix belongings securely so straps do not impede wheel or get caught up in the wheel.
• The riders must carry photo ID at all times while riding the e-scooters.
• They are encouraged to Carry health insurance information and any travel insurance at all times.
• The riders can either ride alone or in groups. 
• They are encouraged to use approved routes to automobile traffic and ensure safety.

Here are a few things which are discouraged while riding the electric bikes in South Africa:

• The bikes cannot be used for beaches or public promenade. There is a fine charged if people are caught doing it. 
• Any individual below 18 years of age is not allowed to ride the electric bikes. 
• The riders if have any existing physical or mental condition that would prohibit Rider from safely operating the Bike are not allowed to use the electric bikes. 
• The riders are not allowed to ride carrying something that could not let them drive safely. 
• The drivers are discouraged to drive the electric bikes under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any other substance that impair Rider’s ability to safely operate the Bike.
• The use of smartphones while riding the electric bikes is also prohibited as it distracts the driver from the safe operation of the bike. 
• The driver is not allowed to wear a headset, earplugs in, or earphones covering, resting on, or inserted in, both ears while driving. 

So, basically, South Africa has enacted all the safety laws for the riders before letting them use the e-scooters and electric bikes to avoid the mishaps that have occurred previously with the adoption of electric vehicles in the US and many other areas around the world.

Why are the e-scooters fascinating and what does the future hold for the current success-booming trend?

Well, the electric scooters are an eco-friendly alternative to motor vehicles and public transportation. The idea of hiring an e-scooter is also far cheaper than riding to work by car or public transportation. People feel the e-scooters are more interesting than any other trend. These tiny vehicles are appealing as they provide comfort and this the reason why many like-minded people come up with the incredible idea of providing people with the service that they need.
