About ScootAPI
ScootAPI was a white-label SaaS platform for micro-mobility operators based in Minsk, Belarus (later relocated to Estonia for EU legal standing), powering 50+ sharing projects and 5,000+ e-scooters across 22 cities in 7 countries (Ukraine, Czech Republic, Romania, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Bolivia) before being acquired by Atom Mobility on June 1, 2025. The platform processed 2.7M trips for 267,500 unique users in 2023. ScootAPI offered three SaaS tiers (Basic €490/mo, Standard €1,290/mo, Premium custom) plus a unique full source code license option. IoT was powered by flespi middleware supporting Omni, OKAI, Teltonika, Navtelecom, Segway, and MQTT devices. Post-acquisition, clients are being transitioned to Atom Mobility — though scootapi.com remains live with no redirect 8+ months later, suggesting migration is ongoing. Founder George Kachanouski departed to pursue AI ventures; the ~15-person team's fate is undisclosed.
