GOVECS Electric Scooters
Historyedit
GOVECS was founded in 2009 by Thomas Grübel, Nicholas Holdcraft, and Gerald Vollnhals. Since 2010, the company is in a cooperative agreement with the Robert Bosch conglomerate which offers vehicle service to GOVECS customers.
In 2012, investment company Gimv invested four million Euros in GOVECS. That year, GOVECS supplied Spanish Company Cooltra with 500 scooters for their rental fleet. In the wake of the deal Barcelona became the first European City with a large-scale rental service for electric scooters. In 2013, GOVECS opened its production plant in Wroclaw. In July 2015 GOVECS acquired the complete manufacturing plants of the e-scooters pioneer Vectrix, which were also located in Wroclaw, expanding output capacity to 20,000 e-scooters annually.
Starting Jun 2015, GOVECS supplied 150 e-scooters to Scoot Network, the leading supplier of base-independent e-scooter sharing services, based in San Francisco.
