E-scooter provider Emmy swallows competitor Felyx

Emmy thus becomes the largest provider on the German market with a fleet of around 4,500 vehicles.

Dutch e-scooter provider Felyx is striking sail on the German market and selling its fleet. Berlin-based start-up Emmy is taking over the 1,500 vehicles Felyx has in service in Berlin. Emmy is also taking over the German company's liabilities.

With 4,500 scooters, Emmy is now the market leader in Germany and, according to Gründerszene the only provider active in the major cities of Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. The Berliners had already been acquired themselves just over a year ago, by Israeli mobility service Goto.

Before Felyx, Tier Mobility had also abandoned the scooter rental business in December. So far, the industry has rarely managed to make the two-wheeler business profitable. Whether Emmy will now succeed with its large fleet and market-dominating position remains to be seen.
