About Zypp
Owned by Bycyshare Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Zypp was founded back in 2017. It provides ecological electric bikes to ease-up micro-mobility requirements for daily commuters. The service is powered by a bike-rental app, wherein users can simply scan a QR Code and get hold of their Bikes from a nearby pick-up location. All its bikes are equipped with chargeable batteries and easy access codes.
In the wake of the global health pandemic, Zypp has introduced a battery swapping infrastructure, with which users can get a new, fully-charged unit for just Rs.25 in order to complete their short-mile trips using sanitized electric scooters.
Other collaborations
The COVID-19 outbreak has called for a collaborative mind-set where prominent organizations need to shake hands and come together to help consumers. To our delight, most of them have done so.
Apart from Zypp, major companies like Uber, Domino’s Pizza, Rapido, Swiggy, Zomato, and Scootsy have already tied up with Spensers, Big Basket, Grofers and Big Bazaar in India to assist in the delivery of essential commodities.
