Market
Zygg services - Personal riders (commuters & urban adventures, the largest market eventually)
- Food delivery workers (a very fast-to-grow market where ebikes are essential to earn more money)
There is an explosion of demand for electric bikes, and Covid-19 has exponentially sped up the coming e-bike economy.
E-bikes are entirely familiar, and yet totally magical. They will make you feel 20 years younger - and let you earn 35% more for Uber Eats.
But they are an expensive, unfamiliar new technology.
The electric vehicle our cities need is an e-bike, and Zygg is designed to scale to meet that demand.

Competitors
The only company offering a similar service does so for Food Delivery workers primarily in SF, LA, NYC & Philly. (Zoomo, from Australia)
Existing alternatives are to purchase or finance an ebike (without service included) from an ebike, local or big box retailer.
Most consumers DO NOT have a favourite brand of pedal bike, do not think of a local bike store as a place to buy expensive electronics and are looking online.
