Kuala Lumpur is one such example, we have top class infrastructure with LRT, MRT, Rapid, taxi’s and ride-hailing service like Grab fulfilling the man the on the street option in being mobile and get to the points the person desires. However, the is the issue of last mile or getting the person truly from door to door, the missing link that would make the journey complete.

This is about the solved by a start-up from Singapore, Beam Mobility Holdings will be bringing over their eScooters from the Island State into KL very soon. Where bicycle sharing concept failed, (we all can recall vividly OFO and Mobike) Beam eScooters look set to revive the two wheel riding albeit without the strain of peddling. Cost of renting is RM2.50 and RM0.30 for every minute of riding, DBKL will have them available in Kuala Lumpur area for starters and other location eventually.
