• The company has hit the mark of 1 million rides after it launched its business c. 6 months ago, setting new growth standards

Berlin, 24. April 2019 – Berlin based eScooter sharing provider TIER (about.tier.app) today announced that it hit the milestone of 1 million rides yesterday, only 192 days after it launched its service in Vienna on October 13th 2018.

TIER puts reaching this milestone in the context of mobility being radically and rapidly transformed. Scooters are being adopted faster than ride-hailing and have just overtaken station-based bicycles.

TIER is proud to be playing its part to delivering the big benefits that accrue from this shifting pattern towards microbility services for the benefit of cities, consumers, and environment. The company wants to offer alternative solutions to short car rides while giving customers a flexible way of transportation.

Lawrence Leuschner, CEO and co-founder of TIER: “I couldn’t be more proud of my team and more grateful to our customers. This fantastic milestone of 1 million rides is a great incentive for all of us to further accelerate on our mission to relieve cities of traffic jams, protect the environment and give people a flexible, joyful ride. We want to change mobility for good.“

Alex Gayer, CFO of TIER: “I’ve worked for some seriously fast growth companies but our growth here is truly exceptional, which is even more impressive given we've deployed only a fraction of the capital of our competitors to achieve this milestone.”
