History
The company had been selected along with Lime and the then operator of the dott brand to participate in a year-long trial of the use of e-scooters as a method of transportation in London.[9][10]
In March 2024 the company acquired emTransit B.V.,[6] which was then operating under the dott brand name.[5] emTransit had been founded in September 2019 by the French Henri Moissinac and Maxim Romain. It had its Series A round of funding in 2019, raising €30 million[11] led by EQT Ventures and Naspers;[12] this was followed by a Series B round in April for $85 million, led by Sofina.[13]
