Problem
Urban commuters often rely on cars or public transport that contribute to carbon emissions, traffic congestion, and noise pollution, while lacking convenient, low-emission alternatives for short trips.
Solution
hop offers a network of shared electric scooters and e‑bikes that users can locate, unlock, and ride via a mobile app. By providing a quick, QR‑code‑based access method and a fleet distributed across more than ten Turkish cities and several locations abroad, hop enables short‑distance travel without personal vehicle ownership. The electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions and operate quietly, helping to reduce overall carbon output and urban noise. Riders can complete trips efficiently, saving time compared to walking or waiting for public transport, while contributing to a cleaner environment.
Target Audience
Primary users are city residents, students, and tourists who need a fast, affordable, and eco‑friendly option for short trips within the covered urban areas.
