Problem
Urban commuters and short-distance travelers often lack affordable, safe, and environmentally friendly options for quick trips, especially in areas where public transit is limited or last‑mile connectivity is poor. This leads to reliance on cars or taxis, increasing traffic congestion, emissions, and travel costs.
Solution
Gcoo (operating the “지쿠”/“지바이크” service) offers a shared micro‑mobility platform that provides electric scooters and e‑bikes for short‑range trips. Users access vehicles via a mobile app, locate nearby units on a map, and unlock them instantly for rides of a few minutes to several kilometers. The service incorporates safety features such as a “Safe Mode” and customizable rider settings, making it accessible to beginners. An integrated eco‑point system rewards users for sustainable travel, while a tiered discount program reduces costs for frequent riders. Real‑time route planning and zone information are displayed in the app, and a seamless payment flow enables quick, cash‑free transactions. The platform also supports multimodal transfers, allowing users to tag on to public transit cards for combined journeys.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban commuters, students, and short‑distance travelers seeking affordable, eco‑friendly mobility, as well as city planners and transit agencies looking to enhance last‑mile connectivity.
