Kia Motors Launches Electric Scooter Service at Directly Operated Service Centers

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Kia Motors announced on the 15th that it will launch a shared electric scooter service at its direct service centers.

Kia Motors has partnered with OLULO, the largest electric scooter service provider in Korea, to offer electric scooter services to customers visiting its direct service centers.

The electric scooter service "Kickgoing," operated by OLULO, has been leading the industry since its launch in September 2018, surpassing 3.8 million cumulative rides to date.

Kia Motors will start the service by installing a dedicated electric scooter parking area called "Kick Spot" at the Seongdong Service Center in Seoul and providing customers with usage coupons, with plans to gradually expand the service area.

Kia Motors stated that the micro-mobility service, such as electric scooters, was introduced to allow customers visiting direct service centers to conveniently handle personal errands nearby while waiting for vehicle maintenance.

A Kia Motors representative said, "We introduced the electric scooter service to provide customers with mobility convenience during the waiting time for vehicle maintenance," adding, "We will continue to offer various services to ensure customers have no inconvenience when managing their vehicles at our direct service centers."
