Akash Gupta, Co-Founder, Mobycy said, “With the launch of e-scooters, we aim to disrupt the short-mile connectivity. 20% of Indians, which is over 210mn people basis census data, get impacted daily when it comes to their last mile or first mile commute, that’s a huge problem to solve. So, at Mobycy, we are driven by the vision of turning India into a greener city via smart, mobility solutions."

Gupta adds, "I can guarantee this will be most convenient and affordable short commute ride option for the next billion Indians. There has been a rise of social and environmentally conscious commuters and we are hopeful that they would join us in our crusade and opt for electric mobility solutions that don’t come at the cost of our environment.”

One can avail Zypp by just linking their Mobycy account with either Aadhaar or Driver’s license. Once linked with Mobycy, a Zypp can be unlocked for Rs 10 and charges Re 1 per minute for  traveling and doesn’t charge any booking amount. 

Upon completing the ride, users can simply park the Zypp anywhere safely, with the exception of private compounds or gated communities. 

Mobycy plans to reach 5000 e-scooters by March, 2019. Currently, the startup company has launched 300 e-scooters.
