WHAT IS VEEMO?
Veemo is an enclosed, electric-assist three-wheeled bicycle designed to provide car functionality for urban core travel. Veemo is outfitted with familiar handlebars for steering, pedals for movement, handbrakes for stopping, and a strong enclosed body to shield users from weather. A trifecta of human, battery, and solar power makes Veemo the cleanest, meanest, and greenest vehicle on the road. Veemo provides a clean and sustainable transportation alternative.
2018 UBC PILOT
VeloMetro publicly launched a Veemo pilot fleet at the University of British Columbia. The service served students, staff, and UBC residents in easily moving around campus. With over 2,000 kilometers ridden and 1,000 trips totalled, the successful Veemo UBC Pilot was ended April 13th 2018.
VeloMetro plans to expand its service to the Vancouver urban core in early 2019. Global expansion is being considered for cities that are looking for sustainable and active transportation alternatives. Veemo velomobiles will also be available for purchase commercially in the future.
CLASSIFIED AS A BICYCLE
Veemo velomobiles are sophisticated, enclosed, electric-assist, smartphone-connected vehicles, ideal for urban and suburban areas. Classified as a bicycle, Veemo velomobiles are human-powered, with electric-assist to help on hills and over long distances. The vehicle shell protects the user from harsh weather and the cargo space provides room for a backpack, groceries, or a briefcase. With their all-weather use, lockable cargo space, and anti-theft provisions, Veemo velomobiles offer the comforts of a car with the functionality of a bicycle.
NO DRIVER'S LICENCE
This healthy, active, and environmentally-friendly mode of transportation is available to anyone 19 or older. Veemo velomobiles are legally classified as an electric-assisted bicycle, so no driver's licence is required. Sign up is quick and easy: create an account and ride within minutes without having to wait for motor vehicle driver record checks or an access RFID card.
IT'S VEEMO TIME
Veemo provides a clean micro-mobility solution and is offered at an attractive price compared to any conventional carshare. Future operating zones include both urban and suburban cores. Our unique vehicle design will position our service as a highly visible consumer brand. Cities love this sustainable transportation option!
