Levy Fleets vs Ride Goat

Ride Goat (GOAT) is a small US micromobility company that packages hardware, a rider app, and fleet operations into a franchise-style "Business In A Box" for entrepreneurs and property owners. The rider app runs on Joyride's white-label infrastructure (the Android package is literally com.joyride.goat), so the technology that powers a GOAT fleet is licensed from a third party rather than built in-house. GOAT runs two tracks. In the buy-and-operate track, an entrepreneur purchases GOAT-branded, Segway-based scooters outright and runs them locally under the GOAT brand while keeping a reported 85 to 90 percent of ride revenue. In the managed property-partner track, Ride Goat deploys a fleet sized to a property and operates it physically (charging, repair, repositioning, rider support, insurance) in exchange for a per-ride revenue share. Founder and CEO David Nazaire, who took the helm after the business was acquired by Seamount Consulting in 2019, reports 55-plus US markets, 200K rides in 2025, 66K-plus riders served, and roughly $2M in annual revenue, run by a global team of about 10. GOAT positions itself as the largest minority-owned micromobility company. Levy is a proprietary, hardware-agnostic B2B platform where operators keep their own brand, choose their own vehicles, and get parking verification, AI damage detection, and a full compliance and payments stack that GOAT does not offer.

Ride Goat Pricing

Ride Goat presents two paths and keeps the exact economics quote-based on its current site. In the buy-and-operate franchise track, entrepreneurs purchase GOAT-branded, Segway-based scooters outright (reported at roughly $595 to $1,199 per unit) and run them locally, keeping a reported 85 to 90 percent of ride revenue on a tiered split (bigger fleet, better split). In the managed property-partner track, Ride Goat deploys and physically operates a fleet on a property and shares ride revenue per ride. Earlier published terms described a tiered management fee of 20 percent, dropping to 17 percent at 50-plus vehicles and 10 percent at 300-plus, plus a $5.50 per vehicle per month platform listing fee, a $3 per vehicle per month data plan, and Stripe processing at 3 percent. Minimums have been described as roughly 10 units to start on the buy-your-own path, with managed deployments typically 15 to 20 scooters and sub-15 sites routed to a pre-owned Segway Max program. Partner agreements typically run two to three years (90-day pilots are available), and payouts are advertised weekly. By contrast, Levy publishes its rates up front. Managed is 20 percent of GMV under 100 vehicles and 15 percent at 100 to 249 vehicles with a term commitment. Software-Only is $14 per vehicle per month at 100 to 249 vehicles, where you keep 100 percent of ride revenue. There is a $250 per month minimum, you can start with as few as 4 scooters, and there are no franchise fees, no royalties, and no setup fees.
