Scoot Networks

Scoot was founded with the goal of making electric vehicles available to everyone as a way to reduce traffic, pollution and climate change. Scoot was the first company to make electric vehicles available to rent with an app, starting with a small fleet of electric Motos, or mopeds, in San Francisco in 2012. Scoot expanded to Santiago and Barcelona to fleets of thousands of electric vehicles, including motos, e-bikes and kick scooters.

Replacing cars with electric vehicles helps to reduce urban congestion and decrease CO2 emissions. Scoot’s shared electric vehicles have become an important part of the urban transportation ecosystem, helping hundreds of thousands of riders take millions of zero-emission rides around their cities.

Scoot was acquired by Bird in 2019.
