BOLT, the micromobility co linked to @usainbolt that we almost forgot, is now quietly working on different vehicles - e-scooters, e-bikes, e-mopeds etc.
Here is their new e-bike!

BOLT seems to have moved from being an operator to a MM technology company, offering Micromobiles and Mobility Software.
Here is their version of a customisable, modular e-scooter

Ed Welburn, former VP of General Motors Global Design has been advising the BOLT team and they are working on few futuristic moped designs
BOLT has also added 'MobilityOS' as part of their technology offering, which I believe is a stack of on vehicle SW, including a screen for Micromobiles running Mobility OS for Navigation
If @Bolt_Now would position themselves as a purely Mocromobile supplier competing with @okai_co, Segway etc., I strongly believe that they have a very large market to capture.
Their e-bike is in production and e-moped is launching soon.

If only, they could tone down the e-scooter to a simple design, and if the e-bike is of better quality than what we now have in the market, they are up in the list as a worthy competitor to OKAI and Segway that dominate the market today!
In interesting turn of events, Julia Steyn, ex GM exec. who joined BOLT as the CEO 10 months ago has left BOLT last month.
Ignacio - CFO at PFO (a family office), is also the CEO of BOLT now
