Uber: share bicycles and electric skates
The Uber American company and Lyft want to expand its offer from its own competitors, trying to become the leading mobile companies. It seems that the revolution of urban mobility that announces the smart city of 'smart city' will become a reality.
That is what they believe, the eyes, Uber and his main competitor, Lyft. The giant businessman, Travis Kalanick, bought an electric hyperlink jump in April for $ 200 million. Lyft, meanwhile, is unknown in Europe but works in the US and Canada 300 cities; and bought a similar operation and bought the Motivate, the largest company in North America bicycles, with a cost of 250 million.
But these are not the only movements of these two major companies in the field of green mobility. Uber has invested 335 million dollars in a round of financing for Lime, an electric skate startup. These devices are the latest fashions in San Francisco and gradually conquer the city centers, just like the dockless bicycles offered by Ofo or Mobike.
Lyft could not stay behind and is in the process of getting licenses to operate with small electric vehicles in the city of California. In fact, the success of these tools is great in the last mile routes (in the last sections of the displacements).
From transport to mobility
Intelligent mobility ideologists, smart cities, bet on one day that the type of transportation will be like this: take the car to the station, take the subway or train and take a bicycle to the exit at the exit office.
This scheme is already possible thanks to the municipal bicycle service and the recently-shared bicycle with Asia. Shared mobility companies are now pushing town halls to adjust their services in this formula. In their view, they can help reduce the citizen.
Uber's obsession has always been to get rid of the car in the garage. His empire was created with the following premise: to keep people from attending to work in their vehicle or a third; Get in touch with the fastest, most comfortable and cheapest way to get interested. It seems the company wants to insert its slogan: we bring you to the desired location with the means you choose.
