Participated · Seed · Jul 2026
Scuter developed a purpose-built cabined three-wheeled electric vehicle and launched a pilot sharing service in Milan. Over the past year it focused on platform development, vehicle homologation, industrialization and assembling an initial fleet through a predominantly Italian automotive supply chain, reaching roughly 200 vehicles. The Milan pilot produced more than 15,000 app installs, five-figure totals of trips and kilometers, about 80% of user ratings at 5/5, no observed accidents in the period, and reported reductions versus private cars of ~50% in cost, ~70% in total travel and parking time and ~90% in CO2 emissions. Scuter retains design, technology and platform management in-house while outsourcing production to the Italian supply chain. The company plans to scale via dedicated private-sharing fleets, franchised public sharing, strategic partnerships and a technology roadmap centered on AI, with further developments signposted for autumn 2026.
