What Scuter does

Scuter S.r.l. is an Italian Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) startup founded in Rome in 2015 that has developed and operates a vertically integrated urban shared-mobility platform anchored by a proprietary three-wheeled electric vehicle. The patented vehicle is purpose-built for city sharing (not adapted from an off-the-shelf scooter), EU-homologated as a three-wheeled moped (ciclomotore) limited to 45 km/h, with an enclosed protective cabin, seatbelt (no helmet required), approximately 100 km of electric range, replaceable batteries, and embedded IoT sensors. Design and monitoring R&D sit in Caserta, manufacturing is handled by an industrial partner in Chieti, and the company is headquartered in Rome.

The Scuter platform combines this vehicle hardware with a native iOS/Android app for geolocation, QR-code unlock, and digital wallet, plus a proprietary real-time fleet-management dashboard and AI-driven orchestration layer that the company labels a 'Physical AI' roadmap for autonomous rebalancing and demand prediction. Scuter deploys this stack in multiple configurations: public urban sharing (pay-per-minute consumer service, €0.34/min active plus €1 unlock), subscription packages (SuperEroe 24h, Eroe 24h, PASS 30/60 min), private corporate fleets, home-to-work mobility packages (with PSCL tax benefits), corporate welfare (distributed via Jointly/DoubleYou), public sharing conventions for organizations, an automatic-invoicing module for self-employed professionals (Partite IVA, integrated with Italy's SDI e-invoicing system), and a turnkey urban-sharing franchise/license model for municipalities, transport companies, and energy utilities.

Commercially, Scuter launched its service in Milan on November 7, 2025, with a 200-vehicle fleet; by mid-2026 the company reported 1,900 active riders, 15,000+ app installs, zero accidents, an average ride distance of 3.8 km, and approximately 80% of users rating the experience 5/5, with latent demand reported at roughly 5x current fleet capacity. Scuter raised a €3 million seed round in December 2021 (LVenture Group, CDP Venture Capital, INVITALIA, Intesa Sanpaolo, government grants and bank loans) and a €3.5 million seed+ in July 2026 (B-yond Ventures, Maya Investments, Nova Capital, Pathfinder, Vertis) to transition from pilot validation to commercial growth. The team comprises four founders (CEO Gianmarco Carnovale, CTO Luca Ruggeri, CFO Gabriele Carbucicchio, Chief Design Officer Carmine Di Nuzzo) plus COO Michele Messina and approximately 13 additional staff.
