BACKGROUNDER 2017
ABOUT VELOMETRO VeloMetro is a transportation company developing a new electric-assist velomobile and sharing service, called Veemo. Based in Vancouver, BC, VeloMetro has built the vehicle and system from the product s inception. WHAT IS VEEMO? Veemo is an enclosed electric-assisted bicycle designed to provide car functionality for urban core travel. With weather protection, cargo space, seamless electric assist, advanced electronics, and navigation, Veemo is a unique transport option. DAILY URBAN TRANSPORT If you work, live or play in the city and want access to flexible personal transportation without the usual torment of urban travel, our Veemo sharing service liberates you from traffic congestion, the need for a driver's licence, the cost of operating a car and exposure to bad weather, all while encouraging physical activity. SHARING SYSTEM It s carsharing - without the car. No driver s licence is required. Download the app and ride to your destination in minutes. Veemo is designed for urban cores, campuses, suburban transit hubs, and towns that may not have well developed transportation systems. Easy, fast, economical, and active - Veemo makes you feel good about getting to your destination.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY A patented pedal-electric drivetrain is only part of the advanced engineering that make Veemos special. Specifically designed for shared use, Veemos are easily accessible through a simple smartphone app that can reserve vehicles and manage trips. Veemo is enclosed by a light-weight composite body which complements the other safety features of the design. Further car-like elements include automatic smart control locks, daytime and nighttime lighting, and indicators. Regenerative braking and a rooftop solar panel extend the vehicle range by up to 20 km per day. UBC LAUNCH VeloMetro is launching a Veemo pilot fleet at the University of British Columbia in the fall of 2017. The service will serve up to 65,000 students, residents, and UBC affiliates in easily moving around campus. Veemos have plenty of space for bags and heavy books, and are fully enclosed to keep the rider and cargo warm and dry. VeloMetro is pleased to be collaborating with a number of UBC academic groups on a variety of technology, business, and transportation projects. VeloMetro plans to expand its service to the Vancouver urban core in the near future. Global expansion is being considered for cities that are looking for sustainable and active transportation alternatives. Veemos will also be available for purchase commercially in the future. SUSTAINABLE OPTION A trifecta of human, battery, and solar power make Veemo the cleanest, meanest, and greenest vehicle on the road. Veemo provides a clean transportation alternative. Regenerative braking and a rooftop solar panel extend the vehicle range by up to 20 km per day. Veemo is a clean and sustainable option.
