EV Scooter Rental Mobile App
A clean app interface for booking, unlocking, and tracking shared EV scooters.
Overview
ZipRyde runs shared EV scooters across Kerala. Riders judge the service by the app: if finding, booking, or unlocking a scooter stutters, they walk. We built a cross-platform app where the core loop — find, unlock, ride, pay — feels instant.
The Challenge
The first version of the app suffered from slow map loads, failed unlocks at peak hours, and a payment flow that lost riders at the final step.
Our Approach
- 1
Rebuilt the map and availability layer with aggressive caching and optimistic UI
- 2
Redesigned the unlock flow with clear states for every hardware and network condition
- 3
Streamlined payments to one screen with saved methods and automatic retries
- 4
Instrumented every step of the ride loop so regressions surface before riders feel them
The Results

- Scooter search and map browsing feel instant on mid-range Android devices
- Unlock success communicates clearly even on flaky networks
- Payments complete in one screen with saved methods
- Peak-hour load no longer degrades the booking experience
"From unlock to ride history, every screen feels instant. The app holds up during peak commute hours, which is exactly what we asked for."
