In this episode of the Micromobility Podcast, Prabin Joel Jones sits down with Candice Xie, Co-founder and CEO of Veo, to explore how a company that raised just $16m built one of the only genuinely EBIT-positive shared micromobility businesses in the United States. Candice walks through Veo's journey from a garage in Chicago to over $50m in revenue, covering the decision to build their own hardware, why starting on university campuses was the right call, and what operational discipline actually looks like in a business this hard to make profitable.

Dott Launches New Fleet in Bristol and Bath
Dott is launching a new fleet of over 4k e-scooters and e-bikes across Bristol and Bath, marking another upgrade to the region’s shared mobility scheme. The rollout includes more than 3k e-scooters and 1k e-bikes, featuring improved comfort, safety, and performance. It also introduces a new blue branding, replacing earlier fleets from operators like Voi and Tier. Backed by a £5m investment, the expansion aims to improve accessibility, reduce improper parking, and extend services to more areas across the West of England. Just how popular are cargo bikes in Canada?
Cargo bikes in Canada are gaining traction, but remain a niche segment compared to Europe. While the broader e-bike market is growing fast, cargo bikes are mainly used for business and logistics rather than everyday personal transport. Companies like FedEx have expanded cargo bike fleets in cities like Toronto and Vancouver, showing strong potential for last-mile delivery. However, adoption is limited by car-centric infrastructure, harsh weather, and regulatory challenges. Despite these barriers, the market is expected to grow, with cargo bikes positioned as a key future solution for urban deliveries and sustainable transport. Bird Canada Launches Scooters and Bikes in Penticton
Bird Canada is launching shared e-scooters and e-bikes in Penticton, with around 120 vehicles available from 30 March. The fleet is expected to expand to 300 scooters and 50 bikes, with designated parking hubs across the city. The initiative aims to improve local mobility while offering affordable ride options, including discounted access for select community groups. Penticton becomes the latest city in British Columbia to adopt shared micromobility, following launches in places like Vernon and Kamloops.
Why Bike Parking Matters More Than You Think
Bike parking plays a bigger role in cycling adoption than many realize. Cities like Amsterdam make cycling easy not just with lanes, but with abundant, well-designed parking, from street racks to large hubs near transit stations. In contrast, places like London struggle with limited parking, which discourages everyday cycling. Studies show that lack of secure, convenient parking can reduce ridership, while better facilities can boost local spending and encourage more people to ride. While parking alone doesn’t prevent theft, it improves accessibility and confidence, making it a key piece of building truly bike-friendly cities. Bosch Launches Connected Platform for eBike Services
Bosch has introduced its Connected Biking Platform, a digital ecosystem designed to power new services across the e-bike industry. The platform uses connected e-bike data, such as location, usage, and battery status, to help manufacturers, fleet operators, and service providers improve operations, enable predictive maintenance, and build new digital offerings. With standardised APIs and integrations (including apps like komoot), the platform aims to create a unified, data-driven ecosystem, making e-bike services smarter, more efficient, and easier to scale. EKX Enters US with High-Speed Electric Dirt Bike
EKXBike, a performance-focused brand that builds high-powered electric dirt bikes and off-road e-motorcycles, has entered the United States market with the launch of its EKX X21 Max. The bike features a 3000W motor, speeds up to 50 mph, and a range of up to 90 miles, blurring the line between e-bikes and electric motorcycles. The move marks EKX’s expansion into North America, targeting riders looking for powerful, off-road capable electric vehicles. ENGWE Unveils ZIP Folding E-Bike for Urban Commuters
ENGWE, a global electric bike brand, has introduced the ZIP, a compact folding e-bike designed for city commuting. Built for urban mobility, the ZIP features a triple-fold design, a 250W motor, and up to 120 km of range, making it easy to carry, store, and use for daily travel. With features like a removable battery that doubles as a power bank and integrated lighting, the bike targets riders looking for practical, space-saving transport solutions in dense cities. Bayside to Develop New E-Bike PolicyBayside Council is preparing a new policy to manage shared e-bikes, aiming to balance sustainable transport with public safety and street accessibility. The move comes amid rising concerns over footpath riding and poorly parked bikes from operators. Proposed measures include designated parking zones, slow/no-ride areas, and better local enforcement. The policy will align with upcoming state guidelines from New South Wales, expected later in 2026, which will give councils more control over micromobility management.
