Platform Overview
About Donkey Republic
Donkey Republic is a Danish bike-sharing company founded in 2014 and publicly listed on Nasdaq Nordic since 2021. They operate 20,000+ bikes across 60+ cities in 8 European countries (Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Finland, Sweden). Approximately 30% of revenue comes from B2G/B2B long-term contracts and municipal subsidies. They offer two models: SaaS (operator buys hardware and self-manages) and MaaS (Donkey provides end-to-end service including workshop setup and staff recruitment). Per-bike operational costs range from EUR 480-1,000/year depending on model and vehicle type, plus EUR 825-2,000 per bike hardware cost and EUR 140/unit equipment kit.
About Revii
Revii by Joyride is Joyride's non-white-label scan-and-go platform for operators launching smaller scooter, bike, golf cart, or LSV fleets. Joyride positions Revii as an instant and affordable alternative for fleets under 50 vehicles that do not need a custom-branded app. Joyride's pricing page lists Revii Launchpad at $4,200/year for up to 10 vehicles and $349/vehicle/year for each additional vehicle.
