In their own words

About the company & team

To all the citizens of the cities where we are present, we offer a responsible and ecological urban transport service through shared, elegant, and safe scooters, turning daily commutes into extraordinary experiences.

YEGO was born in 2016, when electric and shared mobility was still in an experimental phase. Today it is a reality, and YEGO operates in 5 Spanish cities (Barcelona, Valencia, Málaga, Seville, and Zaragoza) and in 4 French cities (Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Nice).

Our more than 9 years of experience, our reasoned and constant growth, our ability to create a community of users, as well as our strong commitments and relationships with public actors and private partners, make YEGO a benchmark in the sector in Europe.

Our goal is to facilitate and rethink access to ecological and responsible micromobility, in harmony with cities and their inhabitants.

Around this project, we are building a united, dynamic, diverse, inclusive, and committed team, in which everyone, regardless of their origin, gender, religion, orientation, or age, can thrive and serve our mission to make our cities greener.
