Episode 13: Join Us On A Micromobility Joyride!

Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast

GUEST: NICK O'SULLIVAN, JOYRIDE

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

When you think of next-generation urban mobility solutions, you often think of the big e-scooter, e-bike, and ride-hailing operators that have made their way from start-ups to household names, some of them even reaching that almost mythical unicorn status with a valuation of a billion dollars or more.

But behind so many of the services that people use lie white-label software platforms. One such company is Toronto-based Joyride. Established in 2014 as a bike-share management system, Joyride has grown into a provider of white label apps and back-end data and fleet management for shared micromobility services in over 200 markets.

Nick O’Sullivan is Head of Customer Success at Joyride; in this episode, we talk about the role of micromobility in city transportation, and the complexities of working with such a wide number of city regulators and transit authorities. We also discuss the potential for mobility super-apps, and the outlook for shared and privately-owned micromobility solutions.
