Telit today announced a new partnership with Kumpan, the electric scooter designer and manufacturer on a mission to ensure the next wave of classic European scooters are completely electric, silent and connected.
Providing a full range of best-in-class products, Telit is equipping Kumpan with an all-in-one solution to ensure its new 1954 Ri electric scooter delivers on its promise to make ridesharing simple.
Kumpan’s e-scooter sharing solutions includes front and backend management systems:
- Live tracking with free floating and stationary sharing locations
- User registration, booking of scooters and payment processing via the app
- Rentals and returns, as well as, service planning and management
- Ridesharing, fleet tracking and optimization of utilization analyses
- Open APIs for connection to any fleet-management software
The overall growth in the shared mobility market has exponentially increased in the past three years. Multiple reports from 2019 indicate an increase from 2018 in the number of countries and cities that implemented scooter sharing systems, with the number of registered users jumping significantly worldwide.
Telit’s solution includes:
- Cellular and Bluetooth modules – form factors designed to fit any project to use anywhere.
- Telit simWISE connectivity – provides greater flexibility and functionality than a standard SIM card at a much lower cost with added convenience. With integrated cryptographic capabilities, it connects to any carrier network.
