The company rents enclosed, electric-assisted velomobiles, called a Veemo, in a one-way, dockless sharing model with rates by the minute. The vehicles do not require a driver’s licence to ride and can be operated on bicycle paths as well as standard roadways.[1] HistoryVeloMetro was co-founded in 2014 by Kody Baker, Sean Boyd, and Jonathan Faille of Perkuna Engineering, along with entrepreneur John Stonier.[2] The first prototype vehicle was built in 2014 and they first unveiled their Veemo vehicle at the BC Tech Summit in 2016.[3] The first pilot fleet started at the University of British Columbia in late 2017.[4] The pilot program of 5 vehicles was made available to the public in February 2018.[5][6] The pilot concluded in April 2018.[7] VehicleThe Veemo is a single person, pedal-electric hybrid vehicle which is regulated as an electric bicycle to a top speed of 32 km/h (20 mph) and power limit of 500 watts in Canada.[8] The vehicle weighs 120 kg (265 lbs) and is capable of climbing hills of up to a 20% grade.[9] It is fully enclosed and has sufficient storage space to hold a full-sized overhead baggage suitcase. The internal battery is replenished through a solar panel and battery swapping.[10] Veemo ServiceVeemo is similar to car2go, providing a one way fleet sharing service accessible through a website or a smartphone app. Members do not need a driver's license and can register and start using the vehicles immediately. Riders pay by-the-minute rates and can park the vehicles in any valid parking spot within the designated home zone, which are indicated in an in-dash display.[11] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Glave|first1=James|title=Part bike, part car: Velometro to take cities by storm|url=https://www.nationalobserver.com/2016/02/23/news/part-bike-part-car-velometro-take-cities-storm|website=National Observer|publisher=Observer Media Group|accessdate=21 June 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Spinelle|first1=Jenna|title=Veemo: A New Twist On An Old Idea For Urban Transportation|url=https://greenfuture.io/transportation/veemo-interview/|website=Green Future|accessdate=16 May 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Chang|first1=Andrew|title=CBC Vancouver News at 6 PM|url=http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2682196618|publisher=CBC News|accessdate=16 May 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Logan|first1=Amy|title=Electronic bicycle rideshare Veemo hopes to make in-roads in Vancouver|url=http://www.metronews.ca/features/vancouver/vancouvering/2017/05/11/electronic-bicycle-rideshare-inroads-in-vancouver.html|website=Metro|publisher=Free Daily News Group Inc.|accessdate=16 May 2017}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/veemo-electric-assist-trikes-1.4554745|title=Electric-assist trike pilot program rolls out across UBC campus {{!}} CBC News|work=CBC|access-date=2018-05-30|language=en-US}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=https://bc.ctvnews.ca/veemo-electric-bike-share-launches-at-ubc-1.3821306|title=Veemo electric bike-share launches at UBC|last=Devlin|first=Megan|date=2018-02-27|work=British Columbia|access-date=2018-05-30|language=en-CA}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://sustain.ubc.ca/stories/ubc-veemo-pilot-success|title=UBC Veemo pilot success {{!}} sustain.ubc.ca|website=sustain.ubc.ca|access-date=2018-05-30}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=McCredie|first1=Andrew|title=It’s the right place, right time for Vancouver’s Veemo|url=http://driving.ca/auto-news/news/right-place-right-time-for-veemo|website=driving.ca|publisher=Postmedia Network Inc|accessdate=21 June 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Richter|first1=Brent|title=Pedal-power hybrid driving change|url=http://www.nsnews.com/news/pedal-power-hybrid-driving-change-1.2196533|publisher=north shore news|accessdate=29 September 2016}} 10. ^{{cite web|last1=Jackson|first1=Emily|title=Bike slash car: Vancouver company hopes to offer greener rideshare option|url=http://www.metronews.ca/features/vancouver/vancouvering/2016/03/03/vancouver-veemo-offers-car-slash-bike-rideshare-option.html|publisher=Metro News|accessdate=29 September 2016}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Coxworth|first1=Ben|title=Veemo velomobile could be yours to use, for 28 cents a minute|url=http://newatlas.com/velometro-veemo-velomobile-sharing/41834/|website=New Atlas|publisher=GIZMAG|accessdate=21 June 2017}} 3 : Canadian companies established in 2014|Transport companies of Canada|Companies based in Vancouver |
