Cities were electrifying.
Infrastructure wasn't.
By 2020 it was clear that e-bikes and scooters were replacing cars for urban delivery and shared mobility. But the battery side of that transition was broken — batteries being charged wherever a socket could be found — in stairwells, hallways, and apartments. Fires were rising. Operators couldn't see where batteries were or how they were charging. Cities had no way to enforce compliance.
We started Swobbee to build the missing piece: unattended battery swap infrastructure that operators could deploy at street level, riders could use without a charging stop, and cities could document for compliance.
Hardware, software,
and the model to match.
A Swobbee ONE Station is a Swobbee Station configured exclusively for Swobbee One Batteries. The Swobbee One Battery model Swobbee ONE is certified to UL 2271:2023 and CAN/UL 2271:2023; the Swobbee Station is not currently UL certified, and station certification is in progress. FDNY issued a no-objection determination for the specified Swobbee equipment, battery and installation conditions.
We started in Berlin and scaled across European markets, serving shared mobility operators and delivery fleets. In 2025 we launched the US service; more than 300,000 swaps have been completed in New York City and Jersey City (as of 11 September 2026).
Why Investors Are Paying Attention
Swobbee combines a battery certified to UL 2271:2023, an FDNY no-objection determination for the specified equipment and installation conditions, and an operating model that works without CapEx from cities or property owners. The market is moving. Speak to us about the opportunity.
New York City tightened its charging rules
New York City regulates the charging and sale of e-bike batteries. Swobbee operates 13 active stations in New York City and 2 in Jersey City (as of 11 September 2026). Several sites host more than one station: the 15 stations stand at 7 addresses (as of 18 September 2026).
Certifications take years to obtain
Battery certification to UL 2271:2023 and a fire-department determination take time and engineering investment.
Every major city faces the same problem
Dense cities face the same combination of rising light-EV use and little public swap infrastructure. The model built in New York City and Jersey City is repeatable.
- →Scale deployments in the US service area
- →Expand to further US cities
- →Grow the European operator network
- →Extend SaaS platform to third-party station operators
