Helbiz

What Helbiz does

Helbiz is an electric micromobility platform founded in 2018 in New York that operates shared e-scooter, e-bike, and e-moped fleets accessible through a single mobile application. The company is a subsidiary of micromobility.com Inc. (NASDAQ: SPMC) and operates in over 20 cities worldwide, with the bulk of its operational footprint concentrated in Italian cities including Turin, Cesena, Bari, Parma, Palermo, Ravenna, Catania, Modena, Pisa, Collegno, and Grottamare. Its technology stack centers on IoT-connected vehicles managed through a mobile app, augmented with computer-vision AI features for real-time parking verification, helmet verification, and sidewalk detection, alongside predictive fleet rebalancing, street-level geofencing, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and MDS+ compliance integration.

The company monetizes through multiple streams: usage-based ride fees (per minute/per ride), recurring subscriptions (Helbiz Plus at €45.99/month bundling rides, food delivery via Helbiz Kitchen, and sports streaming via Helbiz Live; and city-specific Helbiz Unlimited at €39.99/month), geo-targeted advertising via Helbiz Ads, insurance product distribution powered by YOLO, and a franchise/licensed-operator model in which local operators pay per day for IoT-equipped vehicles with no upfront cost and receive access to the Helbiz platform and 2M+ users. According to Q3 2025 SEC disclosures, the parent company has completed a strategic transition from micromobility and media services to IT software services, with its Serbian subsidiary Helbiz Doo providing development services to related party Everli S.p.A.; Q3 2025 revenue from continuing operations was $610 thousand (35% year-over-year growth) and the company swung to a small net income of $379 thousand from a prior-year loss of $1,265 thousand.

Go-to-market combines a product-led mobile app experience, a franchise/licensing channel for fleet expansion, a direct-to-consumer advertising platform, and community-led growth through the Helbiz Access program, which provides free rides to low-income residents enrolled in government assistance programs. Strategic partnerships span Pininfarina (vehicle design for the consumer Helbiz One e-scooter), Enel Energia (clean energy for fleet charging), Li-Cycle (battery recycling), Vmoto Soco (electric moped OEM), and YOLO (insurance). The customer base spans urban commuters, franchise operators, brands/advertisers, food delivery and sports streaming consumers, and accessibility-program participants.
