In Portuguese, "Vammo" means "Let’s go", in an informal way.
Vammo offers couriers a subscription service to rent electric motorcycles.
For a monthly fee, couriers can ride these bikes without worrying about maintenance costs, and they can swap batteries at stations spread throughout the city of São Paulo, saving on gasoline expenses.
However, changing a pattern that has been in operation for years comes with challenges.
For instance, it’s necessary to educate couriers about the benefits of electric motorcycles. The same applies to investors, who need to understand the specifics of electric mobility—a difficult task considering Vammo is one of its kind in Brazil.
To discover how Vammo overcame these challenges, I spoke with Jack Sarvary, the founder and CEO of Vammo.
Born in the UK and raised in the USA, Jack eventually made his home in Brazil, attracted by Latin American culture.
Our conversation extended beyond Vammo itself; we discussed the challenges of being a hardware startup, the Brazilian startup ecosystem, and much more.
