How to start an e-scooter company: The Flamingo Story

We're interviewing young founders Nick Hyland and Jacksen Love to learn what it took to create New Zealand's first e-scooter company.

What's it all about?

In June 2018, two Kiwis created the first New Zealand-based e-scooter company. You'll now see pink Flamingo scooters throughout Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Hardware Meetup AKL wants to share Flamingo's journey from idea to beating out heavyweight multinationals like Lime and Onzo for licences to operate. Also hear about where they're headed, how they're responding to the future of transport, and what they learned while launching a hardware startup.

 

WHAT WE'RE COVERING?

- The full Flamingo Scooter journey from idea to present

- Learnings

- Future roadmaps

- How we can help the Flamingo Scooter team

- And more!
