Overview:
Voi is a major European shared micromobility operator. The company launched in 2018, quickly deploying fleets of electric scooters in cities across Sweden, the UK, France, Spain and beyond. Voi’s vehicles are GPS-enabled for location tracking and IoT connectivity. Users locate vehicles via the Voi app and generally pay an unlocking fee and a per-minute rate, although passes and subscriptions are also available.
As of July 2026, Voi operates over 200,000 vehicles in more than 130 towns and cities across 13 countries. It has served more than 450 million rides and reports more than 4 million active riders annually. The service focuses on short urban trips and often collaborates with city governments on safety and parking solutions. Voi’s vehicles include handlebar displays showing information such as speed and battery level, alongside hardware designed for stability and durability.
Products and Services:
Voi’s core service is scooter sharing, supplemented by electric bikes in select cities. Its app provides maps, local pricing, riding zones, parking rules and safety information. The company offers subscriptions and prepaid minute bundles in some markets, often including unlimited unlocks and optional included or discounted riding minutes. Voi also carries out rider education and health and safety campaigns. It maintains charging, maintenance and redistribution networks and uses data-driven fleet rebalancing to optimize availability. Voi also provides partner APIs and integrations that allow third-party mobility platforms to display vehicles and manage rentals.
Geography and Markets:
Voi operates in 13 European countries, including major markets such as London, Paris, Stockholm and Berlin. In October 2025, it launched 6,000 e-bikes in Paris following a city tender. Voi has since expanded its e-bike presence in Paris and London and secured additional e-bike tender wins in Marseille and Nantes. Voi targets urban commuters, residents and visitors. It competes with other shared micromobility operators, including Bolt, Lime and Dott. Tier is no longer a separate consumer brand following its merger with Dott.
Ownership and Corporate Structure:
Voi remains an independent, privately held company and is led by co-founder and CEO Fredrik Hjelm. The company has raised several hundred million dollars through equity financing and has also issued publicly listed bonds. Its investors have included VNV Global, Stena, Nineyards Equity, Creandum, Raine Group, Project A Ventures and Balderton Capital. Although reports in 2026 claiming that Uber had agreed to acquire Voi, the claim was publicly denied by Voi’s CEO, and no acquisition has been officially announced.
