Spin (Ford Mobility)

Spin provides dockless electric scooters in more than 60 markets in the US, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Charlotte, and Miami. Our regulatory team led the creation of the nation's first stationless mobility permit system with the Seattle Department of Transportation. Spin gives people in cities and on campuses the Freedom to Move by offering accessible, safe, and affordable forms of personal mobility. Our fleet of scooters, each equipped with GPS, can be unlocked by scanning a QR code with our app. At the end of a ride, users can responsibly and seamlessly park their vehicle right at their destination. We work with city and campus officials to offer services with no public financing—by covering the cost of vehicles and maintenance and employing people from the local community for operations. Founded in San Francisco in 2016, Spin was acquired by Ford Motor Company in November 2018. Our core team is comprised of engineers, designers, operators, lawyers, and public policy makers with experience from Y Combinator, Uber, Lyft, and other technology companies.
