Zygg is a subscription service that rents out e-bikes by the month to customers in Toronto and Vancouver. Their founder spoke to the Star about his “quiver” of bikes, the COVID bike boom, and how a car company help Zygg get its start:
One of the most consistent brands sported by food delivery couriers pedalling takeout across Toronto at all hours isn’t UberEats, Foodora, or SkipTheDishes. In fact, it isn’t a food delivery app at all.
McLaughlin spoke to the Star about his “quiver” of bikes, the COVID bike boom, and how a car company help Zygg get its start:Well, my garage is unfortunately a canvas hut. Twice a year, it blows over and I have to put it back together — we dream of redoing the backyard and building a better bike facility. I have two bikes, and my partner has a bike, and my youngest son has a bike. My oldest son basically just uses my old acoustic — or non-electric — bike. So there’s four bikes in the back.
When I was doing that, I rode my first electric bike in San Francisco and really loved it. Eventually, I realized I was not going to have a long relationship with Free2Move, and I started thinking about what would come next. I came across a company called Swapfiets — ‘fiets’ is the Dutch word for bike — that offered subscription bicycles for around 15 euros a month. If you had a problem, they’d fix it. That’s where the idea for Zygg comes from.Absolutely.
There are still supply chain issue in China because of their COVID policies. Will that affect Zygg down the road? Are you comfortable for the next little while? A lot of micromobility companies have problems making a profit on their own operations — I’m thinking mainly of scooter companies. Is that the case for Zygg?
