What happened

Yulu raised $93 million in funding driven by demand from quick-commerce and logistics. The startup plans to expand its e-bike fleet to 200,000 units over the next two years.

Why it matters

Logistics and quick-commerce operators are actively underwriting micro-mobility infrastructure to solve last-mile delivery economics. Capital support for fleet expansion to 200,000 units validates e-bikes as core commercial logistics hardware rather than consumer novelties.
