Whoosh

At Whoosh, we are at the forefront of urban mobility, driven by the conviction that city dwellers deserve seamless access to their destinations within a 15-minute timeframe. Through groundbreaking technology and a commitment to sustainability, we are revolutionizing how people move within urban landscapes. Our core mission is to bridge the gap between short walks and longer 10-km rides by offering innovative and accessible micro-mobility solutions. We believe that by providing smart, affordable, and high-quality electric scooter and bike sharing services, we can significantly contribute to reducing pollution and creating cleaner, healthier cities for future generations. Our approach is centered on enabling people to move freely while empowering cities to achieve their ambitious 2030 climate targets. Electric scooter and bike sharing are not just conveniences; they are integral components in the socio-economic development of metropolitan areas, playing a crucial role in decarbonizing transport, mitigating air pollution, and alleviating traffic congestion – challenges faced by urban centers across Europe and Latin America.

Understanding that each city possesses unique needs and characteristics, Whoosh adopts a city-centric operational model. We establish local entities in the countries we operate in, blending our extensive operational expertise with invaluable local insights. This strategy allows us to meticulously design and implement programs that are tailored to the specific requirements of towns and cities, regardless of their size. We recognize the impact of varying road infrastructures, local regulations, and even weather conditions on the efficacy of e-scooter programs. Therefore, our localized approach ensures adaptability and effectiveness. A key aspect of our service is our 'no-free-floating' model; our e-scooters are picked up and parked exclusively in designated zones agreed upon with municipal authorities. This significantly reduces street clutter, vandalism, and theft, while simultaneously enhancing service efficiency. We are dedicated to promptly relocating any incorrectly parked scooters, ensuring our operations remain harmonious with city life. Furthermore, we invest in our communities by not outsourcing field operations, developing our services directly to maintain high standards of performance and quality with our trained, local teams. Our fleet consists of class A scooters from Segway-Ninebot, all equipped with swappable batteries, ensuring safety, modernity, and a pleasant user experience. Recognizing the importance of user education, our online and offline Whoosh Driving School promotes e-scooter safety, covering everything from operation to road etiquette and responsible parking.
