Our take
TIER is a micro-mobility and e-scooter company that offers accessible and affordable mobility services by partnering with municipalities, public and private organisations, and other transportation providers. They are the first fully climate-neutral provider in the micro-mobility sector, with e-scooters known for their safety-first design, including bigger front wheels, wider foot plates, and a double-kick stand.
Having received substantial funding since 2018, TIER is now focusing on expanding into the Middle East while updating safety features in Europe to comply with evolving city regulations. The challenge for TIER is to stand out in a crowded market, competing with firms like Bird and Lime, and navigating increasing government regulations.
In 2024, TIER announced a merger with Amsterdam-based Dott to form Europe’s leading micro-mobility operator. The combined entity is initially operating under both names, though it looks like a combined brand under the "Dott" name is coming soon. This company will continue to focus on providing sustainable transportation options, reducing car usage, and integrating seamlessly with public transport across major global cities.
