So, where did it all start?<\/strong><\/p>

Strap in, sit back, and put your feet up – I\u2019m going to take you on the journey of how Electric Scooter Insider was born.<\/p>

Let\u2019s rewind the clock to 2016 when I launched GPS.com.au. This resource connected companies that rely on transportation to improve their efficiency, productivity, and compliance with government legislation with the best-suited telematics partners, like Verizon and Fleetmatics.<\/p>

\"gps.com.au<\/p>

This is where my interest in transportation began.<\/p>

As I dived further into the world of transportation technologies, I stumbled upon autonomous mobility. I was immediately drawn to it, so much so that I dedicated myself to understanding how it could change the landscape of future transportation. With my existing knowledge of how companies like Verizon were helping to make large fleets of vehicles operate efficiently, I explored how driverless cars would impact the world.<\/p>

(All of this will make sense, keep reading)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

I decided to conduct my own data-driven research studies.<\/p>

Autonomous driving technologies promised to revolutionize the automotive industry by improving vehicle safety and reducing traffic accidents, but I wanted to understand what the impact of this could be on GDP. So, I did just that … and it went viral<\/strong>.<\/p>

My research was covered on Yahoo<\/a>, The Hill<\/a>, GQ<\/a>, Fast Company<\/a>, and many more publications.<\/strong><\/p>

\"thehill.com<\/p>

I carried on researching transportation topics and was subsequently featured in the likes of The Washington Post<\/strong><\/a> and Business Insider<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

\"washingtonpost.com<\/p>

Fast forward to 2018 when I heard the news of Lime and Bird piloting shared scooter schemes in Santa Monica<\/a><\/strong>. The excitable kid inside me immediately sprung into action.<\/p>

Everywhere I looked I kept seeing people gliding along city streets and boardwalks.<\/p>
