Zipp Mobility wants to launch in Ireland this year. The German start-up Free Now is supporting the Irish company.

The German start-up Free Now is cooperating with Zipp Mobility. In future, customers of the Irish start-up will be able to book e-scooters and e-bikes via the Free Now app. Zipp's market launch in Ireland is currently underway. The country recently passed the new Road Traffic & Roads Bill, which allows the use of e-scooters on public roads.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Irish micro-mobility provider Zipp. We have a shared goal to change and ultimately improve the way people in Ireland use transport on a daily basis. It's a really exciting time for the industry as e-scooter legislation is now in motion and we look forward to offering e-scooters in our app in 2022," says Free Now manager for Ireland Niall Carson at EU Startups.

Free Now has existed since 2009 under the name mytaxi. It then became Free Now in 2019. The start-up from Hamburg is part of the ride-hailing joint venture between BMW and Daimler and offers an app that can be used to book vehicles of all kinds.
