Corporate Overview & History
MicroGO® is the flagship electric micro‑mobility brand of Micro Mobility Systems AG, a Swiss‑engineered company founded in 1999 that pioneered the modern kick‑scooter market. In 2021, Micro Mobility Systems launched the MicroGO® line – a range of compact, battery‑powered scooters designed for urban commuters. The brand quickly expanded to Europe, North America, and Asia, leveraging a “share‑first, own‑later” business model that combines direct‑to‑consumer sales with city‑wide scooter‑sharing fleets.
India entered MicroGO’s growth roadmap in 2022 through a joint venture with UrbanRide Technologies Pvt. Ltd. The partnership established a local manufacturing hub in Bangalore and set up regional sales offices in Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. MicroGO’s core mission in India is to “redefine short‑distance travel with zero‑emission, affordable, and smart mobility solutions.”
