Circ

Circ, formerly known as Flash, runs shared electric scooters in cities. A team with a shared aim of cleaner, safer and better-connected journeys founded it at the end of 2018. It builds its own scooters for rental use rather than buying generic models.

What Circ offers

• Shared e-scooters — purpose-built vehicles that riders can use for short city trips.
• City partnerships — work with local authorities, communities and other road users on how scooters fit into urban transport.
• Responsible micro-mobility — an aim to set the standard for the sector in Europe and beyond.

Who it works with

City authorities, local communities and everyday riders. The company says its scooters are available in seven countries and used by hundreds of people every minute.
