Swiftmile: Micro-Mobility Scooter and Bike Parking and Charging Stations on the Coastside?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

MOBILITY. Every little idea, will lead to a global solution to traffic on the Coastside.

Swiftmile is  a “Last Mile” solution; The “gas station” for electric bikes and scooters

Imagine having a network of E-scooter and E-bike secure parking and charging stations?

Coastal locals can start from Montara and can top off their “E” along the way to HMB, and in HMB itself.

A day out might start with hitting the HMB Coastside Farmers’ Market. Riders could charge up at the market.

Then, they could stop at The Barn to enjoy a Barnalicious Barn Burger, refreshing beer from the outside Beer Bar and even some live music on the weekends.

No fear of making it home with fully and freshly charged bikes and scooters.

Swiftmile News and the Swiftmile Story

The idea of Swiftmile was sparked while one of its founders, Colin Roche, endured a particularly miserable 2014 commute on a clogged Bay Area roadway. Stalled at a gridlocked intersection, he spotted a commuter – fully dressed in work clothes – swiftly and effortlessly cruising past in the congestion-free bike lane on an electric bicycle, a huge smile beaming across his face. Colin wondered to himself, why hadn’t more people discovered this simple-yet-genius solution to end their transportation torture?

The answer was obvious: more vehicles were needed, and they needed to be charged and easily accessible to commuters. An idea was born: why not build a complete on-demand, solar-powered charging and sharing system for electric bikes, scooters, and the vehicles of the future? The concept could get people out of their cars, reduce local traffic, improve air quality, and provide a more efficient, fun and healthier way to get around.

Our vision was quickly validated, as in the first year of our journey we were honored by Verizon with their Powerful Answers Award, a global competition to discover and help bring to market technologies that can address the world’s greatest transportation challenges. More than 1500 entries from companies representing 78 countries had been vying to be recognized. The game was on!

Today, our light electric transit systems are deployed in some of the most forward-thinking cities and innovative companies in the world. We are proud to partner with those that have recognized the need for a more efficient way to move their people around. Of course, with a smile on all their faces!
