Since March 2026, Eindhoven's uMob app has been the only way to unlock shared bikes, e-bikes, scooters and cargo bikes citywide, run by Dott, felyx and Cargoroo under an 11-year municipal concession. Vehicles must be picked up and returned at mobility hubs — 78 exist today per the city's open dataset, against a long-term target of 500.

Evidence🏛️ Officialgrades the sourcing — this entry states no impact figure
what does this mean?The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →
Run byuMob (Rotterdam-based booking platform, concession-holder since March 2026); vehicles are deployed and serviced by Dott (bikes/e-bikes), felyx (e-scooters) and Cargoroo by MOBY (cargo bikes) as subcontractors under the concession; hub site planning was done by the City of Eindhoven with Royal HaskoningDHV.
Scale🏙️ City-wide
FundingCity co-funds hub infrastructure and an affordability/reliability guarantee; day-to-day vehicle operations are funded by user fares collected by the concession-holder and its subcontracted operators.
