Smoove and Zoov, two frontrunners of the active mobility revolution that teamed up in 2021, are now united as Fifteen: a reference to the fifteen-minute city, a concept whereby cities are designed so that all essential services are accessible in less than fifteen minutes, on foot or by bike.
Fifteen believes that the goals of the 15-minute city - calming, re-humanising our journeys and, indeed, our lives - are achievable in cities of all sizes, both large and small. Next-generation bike services enhanced with technology, designed with the requirements of real transport networks in mind, will make this possible.
Already powering the bike services of more than 30 cities and mobility operators worldwide, Fifteen will accelerate the deployment of Augmented Bike Networks and thus contribute to a significant and much needed modal shift from cars to active travel.
Augmented Bike Networks - designed and manufactured by Fifteen, and made available to the most ambitious cities in terms of active mobility - make it possible to address all use cases of bikes in a wider geographical area. They allow regions to transform the implementation of a simple bike service (station-based or free-floating bike-sharing, long-term rental, tourist bikes, etc.) into a coherent network interconnected with public transport.
Fifteen is one of the three world leaders in shared bike services with a fleet of nearly 50,000 bikes around the world, combining complete mastery of connected bike production with unique experience in public service contracts. Fifteen supports the most ambitious cities in their transition to sustainable mobility and serves Paris and several suburbs, Nice, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Landerneau, Epinal in France... and Helsinki, Moscow, Lima and Vancouver further afield.
