Our take
Previously Bolt Bikes, Zoomo is based in Sydney and was created to provide more efficient transport for gig-economy delivery drivers. With its rebrand, it has expanded across Australia and to the UK & US.
It's the only e-bike partner of Uber Eats, offering riders various discounts on rent and accessories. The gig economy is ever-increasing, and home delivery is booming. The founders have a unique background in engineering and operations for Deliveroo, which should give the company relevant insight into the delivery market.
Zoomo prides itself on reliability and accessibility, providing options to rent, rent-to-buy or buy a bike. Servicing is included, and it has servicing points in each city where it operates. Zoomo secured Series B funding in August 2022, which it's using to develop its software, vehicle range and team expansion.
