Amsterdam-based electric scooter startup felyx raises €3 million and expands to Rotterdam
Summary
The electric scooter startup felyx just raised 2 million in additional funding through a combination of private investors and the ABN AMRO bank. The combined funds will now be used to expand with the shared mobility concept to Rotterdam, where felyx will start with 324 e-scooters.The investment of additional 2 million is the decisive factor for expansion to Rotterdam, where earlier this year a letter of intent was signed by the city to introduce the concept. That earlier investment was made by informal investors, of which Anne-Marie Rakhorst, entrepreneur and founder of the platform Duurzaamheid.nl, is one. Driving costs 0,30 per minute, and users do not have to worry about maintenance or parking spots for the vehicles.Felyx successfully launched the sharing concept in Amsterdam, where the e-scooters can be collected and dropped everywhere within the service area. Felyx will start testing in Rotterdam next month and expects to open the service to everyone in September.By the way: In order to stay up to date regarding startup news, tech events and funding opportunities, please make sure to also subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
