The Challenge

The Fire Risk Is Real. So Is the Fix.

Cities are electrifying rapidly. With nowhere else to plug in, riders charge indoors: in apartments, in stairwells, in hallways.

Our Solution

Battery-as-a-Service.
No hardware to buy, and no waiting for a charge.

Swobbee operates as infrastructure. Riders exchange a discharged battery for a charged one and keep working. Property owners host stations at no cost. Cities get documented compliance without managing it.

Swap instead of charge No charging stop. Riders exchange a discharged battery for a charged one and continue working.
Real-Time Fleet Dashboard Fleet operators see station and swap data in one dashboard. Which battery data is available depends on market and permissions.
Zero-CapEx Model Swobbee installs, maintains and operates the station.
