In this episode we discuss the recent Bird Platform announcement, why this was predictable given the dynamics of the market, and how franchising might evolve in the future. We also cover: - Dediu’s Law: Horace’s thesis that we’ll see 10x growth annually for the next 5-6 years in micromobility trip numbers. - how challenges related to social technologies like local bureaucracy/current scooter caps will be overcome. - The VeloMetro/Veemo shared covered trike system that has emerged in Vancouver and whether this is likely to catch on. Our sponsor for the show is Joyride, a software platform that lets you launch your own bike or scooter share system under your brand, with full consumer facing apps, and backend fleet management and integrations.
