Lucy Mobility Offers Company Employees E-Scooters

To enhance employee micro-mobility, Lucy Mobility offers its scooter solution with charging stations at companies.

67% of employees would be dissatisfied with public transport options for commuting to work. Additionally, half of urban trips are less than 3 kilometers, while a Parisian loses an average of 43 minutes daily in traffic jams. Based on these observations, Lucy Mobility has created a new mobility offer.

A French idea in scooters

This French company, founded in 2019, is the work of Nicolas Franco and Léo Avdyli, located in Montrouge (Hauts-de-Seine). Halfway between free-floating rental and personal ownership, it gives employees the opportunity to travel using an electric scooter whenever needed.

Its two main goals are more precisely to “facilitate intra-site travel, or offer employees a chance to adopt a greener, trendy mode of transportation.”

Two stations and two scooter models from Lucy Mobility

Within companies, Lucy Mobility provides scooter stations called kiosks. Lucy has designed two versions: a wall-mounted “Accueil” station, about the size of a large cabinet holding 5 scooters, and a circular “Cafet’” for open spaces. These stations are used to store scooters and also to recharge them for the next user.

Each employee has access to an app where they can check available scooters, their battery level, and range. They can then reserve one 5 minutes in advance if they wish or unlock a scooter directly.

Regarding electric scooters, Lucy Mobility offers two models. The first is the Lucy Lite (on the left in the photo), a lightweight, easily foldable version, and the Lucy with larger wheels for greater comfort. They can also be customized with the company’s colors, a plus for businesses wanting to promote their brand.

The cost of these stations? About 130 euros per month per scooter, totaling 650 euros monthly for a Lucy Mobility station. Is it expensive? Hard to quantify, as trips are not always regular, and scooters do not fully replace other modes of transport.

But for sure, it’s a way to encourage employees to choose a less stressful and city-friendly solution.
