# Cyclehive

*/Startups/Cyclehive*

## Startup Overview

The system autonomously routes gig workers to stranded fleet vehicles. It ingests live telemetry data from micromobility assets and instantly dispatches nearby independent contractors to retrieve, recharge, or reposition them. This eliminates the manual overhead of tracking missing inventory.

When bikes, scooters, or mopeds sit idle outside operational zones, operators bleed potential revenue. Traditional recovery relies on static zone maps or dispatcher-led retrieval teams, sending vans on rigid routes that ignore real-time asset locations and local conditions.

Unlike Joyride or Wunder Mobility, which require human dispatchers to coordinate retrieval, this platform operates entirely without manual intervention. Pricing is tied strictly to outcomes, charging a flat rate per vehicle successfully recovered. Operators pay nothing for the routing software itself, aligning costs directly with restored revenue-generating assets.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 40% reduction in average vehicle retrieval times for mid-sized urban scooter fleets
- Aiming to eliminate 100% of manual dispatcher intervention for out-of-bounds vehicles
- Designed to achieve an 85% success rate for recovering lost assets within 12 hours of the initial offline ping
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Recovery · Price: ~$5–$8 per successful recovery · Inclusions: Automated gig-worker dispatch for low-battery or stranded fleet vehicles, targeted 24-hour return-to-zone SLA, and intended standard fleet API integrations.
- Name: Priority Rescue · Price: ~$9–$15 per expedited recovery · Inclusions: Surge-priced bounties for high-value assets, targeted 4-hour retrieval SLA, and automated routing to the nearest active charging hub.
- Name: Fleet Commit · Price: Custom minimums; ~$4–$6 per recovery · Inclusions: Volume commitment for fleets requiring 1,000+ monthly recoveries, intended direct telemetry integration, and custom geographic fencing.
**Guarantee**: Cyclehive operates on a strict outcome-based model: fleet operators pay nothing until the stranded asset is successfully relocated to a designated active zone or charging hub. If a dispatched worker fails to retrieve the vehicle, the fleet incurs no charge for that attempt.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Gig workers might damage vehicles during unmanaged transit: The platform is designed to require workers to submit before-and-after photo verification to clear the bounty.
- What if a vehicle is locked in a private backyard?: The system flags unreachable vehicles after two failed gig-worker attempts, pauses billing for that unit, and alerts your internal escalation team.
- We already use operations tools in our fleet management software: Cyclehive is designed to ingest static alerts from platforms like Joyride or Wunder Mobility and automatically convert them into dynamic, localized gig bounties, removing the manual assignment step entirely.
- Workers will ignore low-value bounties in remote areas: The pricing engine is designed to dynamically surge payouts for stale vehicles based on location distance and time offline to guarantee pickup.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day bounded city pilot: Manages 500 targeted low-battery and out-of-bounds alerts, aiming to prove an 85% automated retrieval success rate to the designated charging hubs without any manual dispatcher assignment.
- 60-day API integration test: Connects Cyclehive to an existing fleet management platform to measure the exact latency between a vehicle pinging offline and a gig worker successfully claiming the automated bounty.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 40% reduction in average vehicle retrieval times for mid-sized urban fleets
- Aim: 100% elimination of manual dispatcher intervention for out-of-bounds vehicles
- Target: 85% success rate for recovering lost assets within 12 hours of the initial offline ping
- Aim: 0 dollars spent by fleet operators on failed gig-worker retrieval attempts
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized urban scooter fleet operator: Integrates Cyclehive into their telemetry software to automatically route gig workers to out-of-bounds scooters, eliminating the need for a dedicated manual dispatch team.
- Regional e-bike sharing company: Uses the automated bounty system to dispatch gig workers for vehicles dropping below 15% battery, aiming to maintain daily fleet availability above 90%.
- Multi-city micromobility aggregator: Replaces flat-rate internal collection vans with the dynamic surge-pricing engine, targeting a lower cost of remote asset recovery by paying strictly for successfully relocated units.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Fleet Operations Manager: Validates that they no longer manually assign internal vans to collect dead scooters, relying entirely on the automated gig dispatch to handle low-battery units.
- Director of Asset Management: Confirms the dynamic surge pricing engine effectively clears stale, remote vehicles from the map that internal teams previously ignored.
- VP of Micromobility: Expresses confidence in the before-and-after photo verification workflow, noting it prevents gig workers from causing transit damage to the fleet.

## Startup Top Risks
