Shared Kickboard 'Zicooter' Surpasses 20 Million Cumulative Rides

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Shared electric scooter 'Gicooter' announced on the 12th that it has surpassed 20 million cumulative rides.

The company stated it was the "industry's first" and explained, "The total distance traveled by users is 41.38 million km, which is equivalent to circling the Earth 1,000 times."

According to the operator, G-Bike, this has reduced carbon emissions by 6,000 tons as a substitute for car usage. This amount is equivalent to the carbon reduction produced by 600,000 30-year-old broadleaf trees over one year.

Gicooter complies with the Road Traffic Act by providing helmets on all Gicooters nationwide and operates a joint call center. A distance-based fare system will also be introduced on a trial basis.

Yoon Jong-su, CEO of G-Bike, said, "We will focus on solving safety and parking issues by utilizing the meaningful achievement of surpassing 20 million rides and the accumulated data," adding, "We will create a service that satisfies both users and citizens."

G-Bike operates in more than 50 local governments nationwide and has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kakao Mobility and others.
