Recently, Zomato started to use e-scooters for deliveries and has partnered with the e-scooter rental platform eBikeGo to make food deliveries via eco-friendly sources, instead of continuing with pollution creating petrol two-wheelers.
As of now, this seems a very wise step which is a win-win idea for the food delivery platforms like Zomato. Delivering food via eco-friendly vehicles, thus putting forward their thoughtful side to the society and secondly, reducing the fuel and maintenance costs of the otherwise used petrol vehicles.
In fact, it doesn’t limit here, e-scooter for deliveries will even offer employment opportunities to people who can’t afford a bike to make the food deliveries.

Equipped with a rechargeable battery, these dockless e-scooters have a rough average of 20-60 km per charge and a speed of 24 km per hour. Several e-scooter share companies including Bird, Ofo, Lime, VOI, etc have invested in this industry and have experienced a huge revenue growth while gaining customer’s trust and appreciation.
In fact, Bird, the pioneer of e-scooter app industry raised $300 million in funding. And it has put over 1000 scooters on the streets of 18 US cities including Los Angeles, Washington, Dallas, etc.
Not only this, large companies are even investing in them without hesitation. Uber and Alphabet recently invested $335 million in Lime.
And with the help of the right plan strategy and a suitable mobile app vendor that has in-depth knowledge and experience about e-scooters, you can build and integrate an outstanding app which people will definitely like. So, let’s discuss more about mobile apps, how they have turned the idea of e-scooter sharing into surprising reality.
