The kicksharing service Whoosh has announced a project to localize the production of parts for electric scooters: such components are not only produced, but are already being installed on scooters. It is expected that localization will save about 20% of the funds spent on components.
What exactly did Whoosh localize? Components that wear out the most intensively - rubber mats, grips and grip plugs, decorative overlays, etc. The localization project was launched in the fall of 2022. At the moment, from 30% to 90% of Whoosh scooters are operated with new parts. Next season, it is planned to update the entire fleet with localized parts.
