Joyride, a trailblazer in the shared mobility sector, secures $5.2 million in Series A funding led by Yamaha Motors to drive the global adoption of smart, connected electric vehicles.

In a world where innovation is key, Joyride stands out as a beacon of progress in the shared mobility landscape. With a fresh injection of $5.2 million in Series A funding, led by Yamaha Motors, the company is poised to revolutionize the way we move.

The funding round, which includes investments from Urban Innovation Fund, Proeza Ventures, Two Small Fish Ventures, and Export Development Canada (EDC), will fuel Joyride's mission to propel sustainable, connected, keyless, and trackable electric vehicles into the mainstream.

Joyride's platform, a powerhouse in the mobility software realm since 2014, is already making waves in over 250 global markets. From e-scooters to golf cars, Joyride's technology simplifies fleet management and IoT connectivity for businesses, offering a seamless user experience and operational efficiency.

But Joyride isn't stopping there. The company is expanding its reach to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), aiming to modernize the industry with smart, software-connected vehicles. This strategic move is set to disrupt the shared rental, corporate fleet, and consumer markets, opening up new avenues for recurring revenue streams.

With a focus on sustainable innovation, Joyride is committed to creating value for businesses through cutting-edge technology. The company's proprietary solutions support shared mobility fleets in midsize and enterprise markets, paving the way for a greener, more efficient future.

In a world where pollution and traffic congestion are pressing issues, small electric vehicles offer a glimmer of hope. With limited fuel consumption and zero emissions, these vehicles are gaining traction as viable solutions to urban challenges. As the global shared mobility market surges towards $1.2 trillion, the demand for smart, connected vehicles is on the rise.

Joyride's Founder and CEO, Vince Cifani, is thrilled about the company's trajectory. With a vision to power every electric low-speed vehicle in the world, Joyride is on a mission to enhance customer experiences, streamline business operations, leverage data for insights, and unlock new revenue streams—all within a single, innovative ecosystem.

As the world embraces a new era of mobility, Joyride is at the forefront of change. With Yamaha Motors by its side, the company is driving towards a future where smart, connected electric vehicles are the norm. The road ahead may be long, but with Joyride leading the way, the journey promises to be nothing short of exhilarating.
