The collaboration aims to make urban micromobility more efficient, accessible, and sustainable. Through a network of smart stations, ENYRING users will be able to swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones, eliminating range anxiety and reducing entry costs for e-bike riders.
“Swobbee’s modular swapping stations and reliable backend software provide the perfect foundation for delivering on our promise of unlimited range and low entry costs for e-bike riders,” said Satoru Moriyama, CEO of ENYRING.
Swobbee already operates over 100 battery-swapping stations across Europe and has recently expanded into the U.S. market following a pilot program with the City of New York. Backed by cleantech investor InnoEnergy, the company brings deep expertise in light electric vehicle infrastructure and supports various vehicle types, including e-scooters, mopeds, and cargo bikes.
This is not the first collaboration between Yamaha and Swobbee; Swobbee also powers a shared e-moped rental service in Berlin using Yamaha's NEO electric scooters.
“Together, we’re not only building smarter cities but also setting new standards for sustainability and convenience in micromobility,” said Thomas Duscha, CEO and Co-Founder of Swobbee.
The partnership underscores a shared focus on environmental stewardship. ENYRING’s model promotes circular battery use, extending battery lifespans and encouraging reuse and recycling. Swobbee’s infrastructure reduces fleet operational costs and environmental impact by eliminating centralized charging downtime.
Pilot operations for the battery-swapping platform are scheduled to begin in mid-2025, with plans to expand across additional bike-friendly cities.
