Problem
Commuters and residents in urban areas often face challenges with last-mile transportation, lacking convenient and flexible options to connect with public transit or reach destinations efficiently. Traditional bike-sharing systems may not fully integrate with existing infrastructure or offer the ease of use needed for spontaneous trips.
Solution
CLEW provides a shared electric bike service accessible via a mobile application, enabling users to rent and return bikes at various designated ports throughout the city. The service integrates IoT-enabled locks on its fleet of electric bicycles, allowing for keyless access and streamlined rentals. Users can locate available bikes and ports, reserve a bike up to 15 minutes in advance, and unlock the bike by scanning a QR code within the app. The system supports one-way rentals, allowing users to drop off bikes at any available port, providing flexibility for diverse travel needs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes urban commuters, tourists, and local residents seeking convenient, eco-friendly, and flexible transportation options for short to medium-distance travel within the city. The service also targets businesses looking to provide employees with efficient transportation for errands or commuting between offices.
