- Operate in the US and need US-based support

Why Operators Choose Levy Over Hopp
Your brand, not Hopp's — Levy is white-label; Hopp franchisees must operate under the Hopp brand
Lower ongoing cost — Levy's 20% revenue share or $9–14/vehicle/month at 100+ vs. Hopp's 18% royalty PLUS $5,000 franchise fee PLUS $25,000 min hardware purchase
Hardware-agnostic — use any vehicle and IoT provider. Hopp forces franchisees to buy Hopp-branded scooters only.
Multi-vehicle support — Levy supports scooters, e-bikes, golf carts, mopeds, and more. Hopp franchises are scooter-only.
US-based support — Hopp is a 24-person team based in Reykjavik with zero US presence
Advanced features: parking photo verification, AI damage detection, dynamic pricing, and partner payouts — none documented for Hopp
About Hopp
Hopp is an Icelandic micromobility franchise company — not a SaaS platform. Entrepreneurs pay a $5,000 franchise fee plus a $25,000 minimum investment to purchase Hopp-branded scooters and operate under the Hopp brand in their city. Hopp provides the rider app, operator dashboard, hardware, and ongoing support in exchange for an 18% royalty on net revenue. They operate in 17+ countries with 50+ franchise locations, primarily across Europe. Note: "Hopp by Bolt" (gethopp.com) in Washington D.C. is a completely separate company — Bolt Technology OU rebranded its US scooter service to avoid confusion with Usain Bolt's defunct scooter company. The Icelandic Hopp (hopp.bike) has zero US presence.
