GoCiklo launches Battery Swap with the help of the financing platform Lisa&.
GoCiklo just launched Go-Swap-Go - an innovative e-mobility service with battery swapping and a smart business offering that immediately has attracted food delivery companies to use the service.
Battery swap is a clear trend in Asia, now coming to Europe. Lisa& will finance the first batch of battery swap stations and mopeds as GoCiklo launches in Gothenburg and Stockholm.
Swap the battery in 10 seconds and go
GoCiklo offers electric mopeds without the need to charge; a swap of batteries at a swap station makes the moped's battery full in 10 seconds. GoCiklo is now establishing infrastructure of stations in Gothenburg and Stockholm as the first cities in Europe. With a Go-Swap-Go subscription, the customer gets an electric moped with access to battery swapping at swap stations across the city.
A financial solution that has enabled a fast track to market
GoCiklo and Lisa& have entered into a financial partnership that has enabled GoCiklo to enter the market at a faster pace. The partnership supports GoCiklo to build the infrastructure of swap stations across Gothenburg and Stockholm and offer the Go-Swap-Go subscription. Lisa&’s vision is to build our future thriving societies and get good things done, supporting companies with financing and technology.
“GoCiklo is a perfect example of an innovative company offering services that enable the transition of an entire industry to a more sustainable model, a company that we are thrilled to support,” says Viktor Tingström, Co-founder at Lisa&.
“Our collaboration with Lisa& has helped us to go to market quicker and, by that, enabled food delivery companies and other B2B fleets to shift to electric light electric vehicles quicker. A food delivery company that shifts from a gasoline moped to an electric moped avoids at least 1 ton CO2 emissions per year and a lot of disturbing noise. So, time to market is essential.” says Mattias Tingvall, CEO of GoCiklo.
