Voi Technology, the “micro-mobility” startup that operates an e-scooter service in a 38 cities across 10 European countries, has raised an $85 million in Series B funding. Voi Technology(瑞典电动摩托车初创公司)是一家“微移动”初创公司,在10个欧洲国家的38个城市中提供电动滑板车服务,这家公司在B轮融资中获得8500万美元融资。 Launched in 2018, the company is best-known for its e-scooter rentals but now pitches itself as a micro-mobility provider, offering a number of different transport devices. These include various e-scooter and e-bike models, in a bid to become a broader transport operator helping to re-shape urban transport and wean people off using cars. 这家公司成立于2018年,最出名的业务就是出租电动滑板车,但现在宣传说要提供微移动服务,提供多种交通工具,其中包括不同的电动滑板车和电动自行车。该公司参与了一场投标,要拓展交通工具的业务范围,致力于重塑城市交通,让人们放弃汽车。 To date, Voi says it has 4 million registered users and has powered 14 million rides. More recently it has launched new, more robust hardware that has been designed to sustain the rigours of commercial e-bike sharing. The idea is that more suitable hardware will help e-scooter companies improve margins since more rides can be extracted from the life-span of each vehicle. |
