Straight answers.
Including the ones that are “not yet”. Scoteri is pre-launch, and pretending otherwise would make everything else here less believable.
About Scoteri
Scoteri is a shared electric scooter platform: a rider app, a fleet of connected scooters, and the operations software to run them. It is being built for cities in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, starting with Erbil.
No. Scoteri is pre-launch. The platform is built and has been tested against real vehicles, but there is no public fleet on the street and nobody can rent a scooter yet.
Erbil, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It is where the company is based and where the platform was tested.
Two ways that matter. First, the whole stack is built in-house, so enforcement happens on the vehicle rather than as a suggestion in an app. Second, it is designed for this market: rider verification, parking photos reviewed by the team, and control tight enough that a city can permit it.
For riders
We do not have a public launch date yet. Join the early access list on the Ride page and you will be told when riding opens in your city.
Nowhere yet. The app is not published to the App Store or Google Play. Store links will appear on this site the moment it is.
Rides are paid from a balance in the app, which you top up securely with your card. Card top-up is the payment experience planned for launch, and no prices have been published yet.
Pricing has not been set or published, because no city has launched. Rates are set per city and will be shown in the app before you unlock.
The ride will not end. The app shows you where you can legally finish, and the ride stays open until you park there.
In a no-ride zone the scooter stops delivering power. You coast to a stop and cannot accelerate again until you leave the area.
Yes, once, before your first unlock. It is what lets a city trust that every scooter on its street is tied to an accountable person.
For cities and municipalities
A city sets where scooters may ride, where they may not, where they may be parked and how fast they may go in specific areas. Those decisions are enforced on the vehicle itself, not left to the rider.
A ride cannot be ended inside a no-parking area. That single rule removes most of the abandoned-scooter problem, because ending the ride is what the rider wants to do.
Yes, and you should. The riding area is a drawn boundary and a launch works best when it is deliberately limited at first.
Through the city partnership form. Tell us about the city and what you think is missing, and we will reply with an honest assessment rather than a pitch.
For investors
Pre-launch, with the platform built and hardware-tested. Investment funds deployment (vehicles, the first fleet, the local operating team and market entry) rather than further development.
Because Scoteri has no revenue, no rides and no users to report. Financial modelling and unit economics are shared directly with investors under NDA rather than published as projections dressed up as results.
Use the investor enquiry form on the Invest page and tell us about your mandate, so what we send is relevant to it.
For operators and partners
Possibly. Operator partnerships exist for businesses that have local logistics, a field team and market knowledge. The software side is supplied.
They depend on who funds the vehicles, who carries the operating cost and how much support is needed, so we do not publish them. Ask, and you will get a straight answer for your situation.
No. Scoteri is pre-launch and has no partnerships, endorsements or letters of intent to display, and we would rather say that than show a wall of logos that means nothing.
Question not here?
Ask it directly. We would rather answer a specific question than write a longer page.
