We discussed the rise in accidents with electric scooters in Brussels. According to the Brussels Times, there were 846 injury accidents. (Source: https://www.brusselstimes.com/280346/dramatic-increase-in-number-of-pedestrians-killed-more-e-scooter-accidents) However, it's not clear what % of those accidents are from shared scooters & what % is from privately owned electric scooters, I would assume that the accidents with shared scooters is relatively low due to how regulated they are (speed limit, user behaviour monitoring etc.) I also provided my opinion on how the government can tackle this issue through collaboration with the operators. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/constantin-vermoere/message

But this did not just happen by coincidence, there were many things that played a role, such as the background of Raymon Pouwels, his co-founders, their long term vision and decision making, their focus on being sustainable at every aspect of the business caring about their customers, working closely together with city officials and more. I had the honour to sit down with Raymon Pouwels to discuss his own personal story, why he entered this crazy mobility industry, what drives him his vision, mission and values and his personal goals. We also discussed what drives him to push our mobility industry forward. This episode was a bit different than previous episodes, because in this episode we focused more in depth on the business, we went over the early days of GO Sharing, what makes them different, we discussed the different modes of transport that they provide, their future plans of expansion, their expansion strategy, we did a deep dive into their operations and the sustainability of the overal company and we discussed their continuous efforts to positively impact society in different ways such as allowing users to plant tree in Kenia through their usage of the GO Sharing service!
