Levy Fleets vs BYKKO
A detailed comparison to help you choose the right platform for your micromobility operation.

What managed operations replace
BYKKO sells software; the field and rider operations stay yours. Levy Managed absorbs rider support, payment operations, disputes, refunds, and collections at 20% of GMV against a $250/mo minimum. These figures price that labour, not a competitor quote — BYKKO does not publish one.

When to Choose Each Platform
Choose Levy Fleets if you...
- You want to offer e-scooters, golf carts, or mopeds in addition to e-bikes
- You prefer dockless operation without investing in docking station infrastructure
- You want revenue-aligned pricing instead of fixed franchise fees
- You operate in the US or outside Australia
- You need a managed service that handles rider support and payment disputes
- You want hardware flexibility to choose from multiple vehicle manufacturers
- You need built-in parking photo verification, AI damage detection, and violation management for regulatory compliance
- You need fraud detection, dispute handling, and tax compliance tools (W-9, 1099-K) built into the platform
- You want a loyalty program, referral system, and insurance workflow included — not available from BYKKO
Choose BYKKO if you...
- You run an Australian holiday park, caravan park, or coastal tourism destination
- You specifically need station-based e-bike sharing with wireless induction charging (no plug-in, no swapping)
- You want a fully turnkey package including proprietary hardware, docking stations, and fortnightly on-site servicing
- You prefer a proven Australian operator with 40+ sites and established NRMA Parks and Discovery Parks partnerships
- Your fleet will be 5–50 e-bikes at a single location and you want a simple, contained system
- You want sustainability metrics and monthly performance reporting included
Why Operators Choose Levy Over BYKKO
Hardware agnostic: use any IoT-connected vehicle, not just BYKKO proprietary bikes
Revenue-share pricing means you pay only when riders pay you, no upfront franchise costs
Supports e-scooters, e-bikes, golf carts, and mopeds, not just e-bikes
Dockless operation eliminates the need for expensive docking station infrastructure
US-based support team with English-first service
Managed plan handles rider support, payment ops, and disputes for you
Questions from operators considering the switch
Does BYKKO publish pricing?
No — BYKKO is quote-based, and its model bundles hardware, docking, and servicing, which makes a software-only comparison difficult. Levy publishes a $250/month minimum against 20% of GMV, or $14/vehicle/month software-only at 100–249 vehicles.
Does Levy provide docking stations with charging?
Levy manages stations with capacity and charger counts and publishes GBFS station feeds, but does not manufacture docking hardware. BYKKO supplies station-based docking with automatic charging and wireless induction charging as part of its bundle — genuinely different hardware that Levy does not build.
Does Levy include on-site maintenance?
No. BYKKO includes fortnightly on-site servicing in its model. Levy Managed covers rider support and payment operations — the customer-facing half — while physical field work stays with you or a partner. Levy does provide the task system, bounty payouts, and US spare-parts stock to run that work efficiently.
Which model suits a council or campus program?
If you want a single vendor to supply bikes, docks, and servicing and hand you a working system, BYKKO’s bundle is the more complete package. If you want to own the operation, choose your own hardware, and pay software rates rather than a bundled fee, Levy is the closer fit.
Does Levy report sustainability metrics?
Levy reports ride distance, vehicle utilization, and mode-shift data, and its GBFS feeds expose vehicle types and propulsion so downstream tools can compute emissions figures. BYKKO offers packaged sustainability reporting as a named deliverable, which is often what a council program is asked to produce.
How long does a migration take?
Two to three weeks for a fleet with connected hardware. Docked systems take longer if station hardware needs re-integrating.
About BYKKO
BYKKO is an Australian e-mobility technology provider specializing in station-based e-bike sharing for tourism, hospitality, and holiday parks. Founded by Monica Zarafu (a transport technology researcher), the company operates 40+ sites across Australia with 100,000+ rides in 2024 and 100,000+ registered customers. Their proprietary docking stations use wireless induction charging — bikes charge automatically while docked with no plugs or user intervention. BYKKO operates a licensed-operator (franchise-style) model with investment costs of $50,000–$250,000 per deployment. Key partners include NRMA Parks and Resorts (15 locations), Discovery Parks, Crowne Plaza, Pullman Hotels, and the City of Newcastle (Australia's first public e-bike network: 100 bikes, 19 stations). The rider app is a progressive web app (PWA), not a native iOS/Android app. The company has 2–10 employees and no disclosed venture capital funding.
