BOND Mobility develops e-bikes that go up to 45 kilometers per hour. Headquartered in Uster in the Canton of Zurich and in California, it provides these bikes for shared use in several European cities. The micromobility provider has now announced that it has acquired the shared micromobility platform of the Zurich-based startup Roll2Go.

A spin-off from ETH Zurich, Roll2Go develops technology for mobility data analytics and visualization. Based on these technologies, Roll2Go offers data-centric platforms for predictive analytics that empower real-time data-driven decisions and operations. The data has already been used by the Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) to help it to understand the adoption of shared micromobility in Switzerland.

The acquisition of Roll2Go’s platform is set to strengthen BOND Mobility as a data-driven company. “The technology of Roll2Go allows a unique understanding of the mobility market,” said Raoul Stöckle, CEO of Bond Mobility.

Roll2Go’s two co-founders, Lukas Ballo and Dr. Haitao He, will join BOND Mobility. Ballo will be the new Head of Data Analytics and Dr. He will become a scientific advisor at the company.
