It’s impossible to imagine Taiwan without scooters weaving through traffic everywhere. Scooter rental services from Taiwan-based startup Gogoro and similar apps like iRent and Wemo have been relatively successful so far.
SKRT is among the latest to have emerged in the scooter rental business, streamlining the process of renting a scooter by going fully digital. The startup also gives scooter owners a share of the profit for monetizing their vehicles.
“We’re the AirBnB for motorcycles in Taiwan. If you’re looking for a scooter or motorcycle to rent, you can find it on the platform. And if you’d like to make some extra cash, you can share your idle scooter on SKRT,” said Elliot Ricardo, the co-founder of SKRT.
