beebee, a ride-sharing platform for electric scooters in Southeast Europe, has gained significant traction despite being founded and launched only last year, with over 27,000 rides completed and 11 tons of CO2 emissions reduced. The company's secret sauce lies in providing high-quality, user-friendly devices and technology designed with safety and sustainability in mind, differentiating it from competitors such as public transport, e-bikes, and taxi companies. Despite facing challenges, including not testing their platform on real users, beebee has proven to be an excellent alternative means of transport during the pandemic and is now poised for expansion into new markets and recognition as a sharing platform in SEE smart cities.
