Urban micro-mobility sharing via app

Overview

Beryl provides shared, sustainable micro-mobility services in the UK by partnering with local authorities and communities to run fleets of bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, and cargo bikes. Users access these vehicles through a mobile app and pay via pay-per-ride, minute bundles, or day passes. The company focuses on long-term city partnerships to deliver customized schemes that fit each community’s needs, with an emphasis on safety and easy-to-use equipment. Beryl differentiates itself through its deep collaboration with local governments to design integrated, city-specific transport solutions and its wide range of vehicle types, including cargo bikes, to cover diverse last-mile travel needs. Its goal is to offer convenient, affordable, and environmentally friendly urban mobility that reduces reliance on cars and serves commuters, students, and tourists in urban areas.
