Kick-Sharing Mobility Platform
Microservices platform for a European kick-sharing company operating 100,000+ vehicles across 50+ cities. Real-time IoT fleet management, ML-powered demand prediction, and dynamic pricing.
Challenge
A Barcelona-headquartered mobility company operating scooters and bikes across 50+ European and Asian cities with 2M+ daily app users needed a unified platform supporting vehicle rental and power bank services. The system required IoT integration for real-time diagnostics, charge tracking, and remote vehicle blocking. Dynamic pricing based on demand and weather conditions was essential, along with architecture capable of handling 10,000+ simultaneous requests during peak hours — all with multilingual support and localized payment processing.
Solution
We designed a microservices architecture separating payment logic, geolocation, and device management into independent modules. ML algorithms forecast vehicle distribution patterns to optimize fleet placement. API gateways ensure compatibility across different scooter and bike models from multiple manufacturers. Users gained offline booking modes, simplified KYC verification through phone number and selfie authentication, and personalized promotional offers based on usage patterns.
