Every shared e-scooter, ‘locate’ competition begins in Korea

Problems and Solutions for Existing e-Scooter Companies

Nowadays Shared e-scooter companies are popping up like mushrooms everywhere in Korea. Shared e-scooter that can be easy-to-ride and free-to-return, quickly spreading throughout Seoul, Korea. But shared e-scooter complaints also have been increased since these service launched. What are the complaints? First, let’s take a look at the pictures below.

Can you find the exact location of the scooter with just these pictures?
Even the scooters found on the map(in the app) are marked as centered or in the building. It’s hard to know where it is just by looking on the map. Did someone carry a shared e-scooter into the building indoors? Why is the scooter marked as such a strange place?

e-Scooter parked in an unknown location on the map. I’ll find out by my self where the nearest scooter is.

Scooters were in corners of these back alleys, apartment complexes, and even scooters were found in streams and jungle forests.

All these problems
Should we turn to the conscience of e-scooter riders?
Or is it the lack of management of shared e-scooter companies?
Will creating a shared e-scooter parking-zone solve the problem?

In the beginning, shared e-scooter service was designed to move quickly and accurately on narrow streets and short distances, and to return them freely.
However,
Users should park only in designated spaces,
Blaming the conscience of users who return freely,
Companies have to struggle with finding lost/damaged scooters around,
If pedestrians are uncomfortable with a parked scooter,

Shared e-scooter will no longer be a convenient vehicle for people.

Is there a win-win solution for users, businesses and pedestrians?

1) ‘Good Parking’ reward service for shared e-scooter users

When you return it, you can get a reward even if you are good at parking!
Do you know that by taking a picture of your returned scooter and sharing the location and address, then you can be rewarded with coins!

So simply share your return location with ‘GridAddress’.
After sharing, the rewarded BORA coin will be earned and can be reused afterwards.

2) Services that are given a unique ‘address name’ shared board

e-scooter companies no longer have to wander to collect scooters in the weird places. ‘GridAddress’ & its QRcode that user shared when returned is highly accurate because it is divided into 1M-sized grid. Therefore, this address allows company to directly get to the right place and collect scooters quickly.
It also has a tremendous positive effect on shared e-scooter company’s maintenance.

Everywhere the e-scooter riders go, there’s a ‘GridAddress’.
No more wandering around looking for a nearest e-scooter.

3) Citizen e-scooter Location Reporting Service
