About
Based in California, US, Scooterson, Inc. specializes in innovative electric scooters designed to enhance urban commuting experiences and promote personal mobility through advanced technology. Founded in 2015 in San Francisco, US, Scooterson, Inc. focuses on the development of electric scooters.
The company has completed 3 deals, with its most recent funding round occurring on January 15, 2018, where it raised USD 1. 75 mn in Seed funding led by ARSAT Industrie SRL. The CEO of the company is Mihnea Chis, who co-founded the business alongside Deepansh Jain and Flavius Balaj. Scooterson's primary offering is the Rolley, an intelligently designed electric scooter that focuses on enhancing the user experience through innovative technology.
The Rolley features a passive Auto-Balance design, allowing riders—regardless of their proficiency with bicycles or scooters—to glide smoothly and effortlessly. It can achieve a median range of up to 56 miles (90 km) at a top speed of 40 MPH (64 KPH), particularly catering to urban commuters and recreational riders. The e-scooter is equipped with cutting-edge materials, including carbon fiber reinforced polymer and aerospace-grade alloy parts, emphasizing strength and durability. The company serves diverse markets, including North America, Europe, and regions where urban transportation solutions are increasingly in demand, targeting both individual users and businesses looking for personal mobility solutions.
Scooterson generates revenue primarily through direct sales of its flagship product, the Rolley, as well as through partnerships and franchise opportunities for retail stores. The company’s transaction structure includes B2C sales directly to consumers, as well as B2B arrangements with local businesses and residential developments that incorporate their scooters into mobility solutions for residents. The Rolley is marketed with various features that enhance user experience, supported by the Scooterson App, which allows users to track battery life, locate their scooter, and access additional functionalities. While specific pricing details for individual products or services are not disclosed, the comprehensive approach to mobility solutions, which includes scooters and support systems like charging stations and fleet management software, positions Scooterson to capture a wide range of customer segments.
Following the most recent funding round on January 15, 2018, where Scooterson raised USD 1. 75 mn, the company aims to utilize these funds for product development and market expansion. Plans include launching new models of the Rolley scooter, enhancing their technology capabilities by the end of 2023, and expanding into markets in Asia and South America by 2024. This growth strategy aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for personal electric mobility solutions in urban areas.
