Idea

Zygg is a subscription e-bike service for personal riders, food delivery and B2B/B2G fleets. Our goal is to transform billions of urban car & truck trips to ebike rides. We provide e-bike hardware, service and finance, rolled into a simple monthly price that includes delivery, maintenance, repairs and even reduced liability.

400 more ebikes secured for spring/summer in very tight market

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)

Adding
- B2G fleets (inspection, parking etc..)
- B2B cargo ebikes
- B2B2C real estate developments

Problem or Opportunity

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.

Solution (product or service)

Zygg provides e-bike hardware, service and finance, rolled into a simple monthly price that includes delivery, maintenance, repairs and even reduced liability.

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.

Advantages or differentiators

First to market
Extensive team experience with shared / urban mobility, asset-based ventures
Focus on great customer experience
Vertical integration (to reduce supply costs 30%+)

Finance

We charge from $99 to $214 per month for an ebike and options like reduced liability, extra batteries, and sell helmets, baskets, and other accessories.

Risks

Supply chain is strained due to covid and covid-related demand
capital intensive
greatest risk is getting acquired as there will be (multiple) brands providing this service, and it is an entirely green field right now in the Americas.
