Scoot Networks, with its slogan "Electric vehicles for everyone. Let's rethink transportation," emerged in 2011, aiming to democratize electric vehicle access to mitigate traffic, pollution, and climate change. As the pioneer in app-based electric vehicle rentals, Scoot launched its venture in San Francisco in 2012 with a modest fleet of electric mopeds.
Expanding its vision globally, Scoot grew its operations to Santiago and Barcelona, managing thousands of electric motos, e-bikes, and kick scooters. This growth underscores Scoot's crucial role in urban transport, offering sustainable alternatives that alleviate congestion and cut CO2 emissions. The model facilitated millions of zero-emission rides, affirming its value in the urban ecosystem.
Acquired by Bird in 2019, Scoot Networks received its last significant funding in a $25.00M Series B on June 28, 2018. Headquartered in the United States, the company aligns with the Logistics, Transportation, and Automotive industries.
