Pony is one of the leading micro-mobility operators in Europe.
Launched in 2018, pony is proud to be the only French operator. We design, produce, and operate 15 000 bikes and scooters across 24 cities in Europe. We aim to operate 30 000 vehicles in 50 cities by 2050.
What sets us apart is our unique participatory model Adopt-a-pony and our obsession with sustainability and quality.
As the matter of fact, pony is the first operator to decentralise ownership of its vehicles, because we believe shared vehicles should belong to the people who use them. We let any of our users buy our ponies and share their revenue, ensuring that the profits remain in the local economy. We say they adopt ponies and we call them pony angels.
