Voi CEO says he’s open to acquiring Bolt’s micromobility business


Frederik Hjelm, CEO of shared micromobility startup Voi, said he sees a path to acquiring the scooter and bike operations of Bolt, the European mobility super-app best known for ride-hailing.

He noted most people who pick up a dockless e-scooter or e-bike are locals who prioritize experience and affordability rather than the ability to use a “super app” like Bolt.
