Boaz Bikes
Seated electric scooters, built for a safer ride. 2018 – 2026.
Boaz Bikes has ceased operations. Thank you to every rider, city partner, team member and supporter who was part of it.
Our story
Boaz Bikes started in 2018 with a simple idea: shared scooters should be safer and more comfortable to ride. Instead of a stand-up kick scooter, we built a seated electric scooter with larger tires, a storage basket, turn signals and side mirrors.
We put our first scooters on the street in 2019 and operated in Atlanta, Plano and Detroit. When the pandemic paused shared mobility in most cities in 2020, Detroit stayed open, and it became our home market.
Boaz Bikes stopped operating in February 2026.
