The first platform to use a Bluetooth app-based unlocking
system, PopScoot releases e-scooters from their docks instantaneously when
activated through mobile phones. The in-app GPS provides the ability to locate
available scooters around the island and track the travelling route of users.
As a location-based mobile solution, it is also able to turn docking locations
into data hotspots in the future.

PopScoot is capable of deploying both a dockless system
supported by a remote immobilisation capability; and a self-charging docked
system that is modular, expandable and drill-less. This unique combination
caters to wide-ranging location-specific requirements and allows for fast and
smooth deployment.

In Singapore, the demand for last mile solutions has been
growing significantly, with the steady rise in bus and rail ridership to a
daily average of 7.2 million in 2016[1]. The Government
has also continued to push towards its car-lite vision through initiatives such
as the National Cycling Plan and the upgrading of supporting infrastructure.
These developments have driven up the popularity of Personal Mobility Devices
(PMD) such as e-scooters and opened up vast market opportunities for e-scooting
co-share services.

“Electric-scooters on-demand is the way forward for Singapore,
due to its technologically-savvy population, compact urban layout and
pro-car-lite Government. Our launch in September will be a major first step
towards our goal of making e-scooter sharing mainstream in Singapore by making
every journey affordable, convenient and enjoyable. We hope to work with
investors and partners to transform the last mile commute scene in Singapore
and other smart cities around the world,” said Mr. Kelvin Emmanuel Ng, Chief
Marketing Officer PopScoot.
