Impact
Environmental
BLOCK plays mostly an enabler role. Replacing short car trips with micromobility rides can significantly cut down on emissions. A car typically emits about 271 grams of CO2 per kilometer, while cycling only 21 grams.
Reduced traffic congestion in urban areas not only lowers emissions from idling vehicles but also improves fuel efficiency for those who still drive, contributing to further reductions in overall emissions.
The increased use of bicycles and scooters reduces the need for extensive car parking infrastructure. This can prevent the environmental degradation associated with large parking lots, such as increased urban heat islands and stormwater runoff pollution.
BLOCK’s solutions can be integrated into broader green urban planning initiatives, so cities can reduce the space allocated to cars and instead promote green spaces and pedestrian areas, enhancing biodiversity and reducing – once again – environmental degradation.
Over time, as more people adopt micromobility options facilitated by BLOCK’s infrastructure, cities could see a sustained decrease in air pollution levels. This reduction in pollutants would lead to better air quality, benefiting both the environment and public health.
BLOCK Climate Impact Forecast (CIF) study has created an EIT validated in 2021 which showeda positive impact through scalable CO2 reductions.
Social
BLOCK’s secure dock design deters thieves and contributes to more organized public spaces with less vandalism and an overall better public safety.
BLOCK helps to normalize micromobility as a viable transportation option, even in cities where infrastructure has previously been a barrier.
BLOCK stations support local businesses by making it easier for customers to visit via bike or scooter. It is also a well known fact that cyclist spend more than their car driving counterparts.
With measurable cycling/scooter usage BLOCK enables data collection for decision makers. This data acts as supporting evidence to build new cycling paths and launch sustainability campaigns.
By facilitating the growth of micromobility, cities can reduce their reliance on cars, lower GHG emissions and create more livable urban environments with reduced noise and air pollution.
As more people adopt active transportation, the increased physical activity can reduce rates of chronic diseases, leading to healthier populations.
BLOCK catalyses a cultural shift toward sustainability. As secure parking becomes ubiquitous, this shift can influence public attitudes toward other sustainable practices, contributing to broader environmental awareness and action. Long-term, the increased adoption of micromobility could reduce infrastructure costs for cities.
Governance
BLOCK operates according to EU legislations, with double-entry bookkeeping and yearly financial auditing.
All employees are entitled to ESOP compensation after their first succesful year, fostering a devoted and people-orinented company culture.
BLOCK is guided by a C level female decision maker and several other female mentors since the company’s inception.
BLOCK positions itself as a credited thought leader in the micromobility space by participating in industry events, contributing to urban mobility discussions, and showcasing case studies of successful implementations.
Market potential
The micromobility market is rapidly expanding, with a projected growth from €63.3 billion in 2022 to €209.8 billion by 2030, driven by rapid urbanization and a shift toward sustainable transportation.
Within this market, BLOCK is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the increasing need for secure micromobility parking solutions for private vehicles. Their innovative, scalable and tangible infrastructure – which includes mobile app integration and e-bicycle/e-kickscooter charging capabilities – meets a critical demand as cities worldwide push for greener urban mobility.
Once-in-a-lifetime market conditions
eBike and eScooter sales skyrocket
Storing and charging these high-value assets in public requires radically different parking infrastructure
Smart City initiatives
All across the globe there is a need for tangible smart micromobility parking solutions with measurable benefits.
Very few competitors
Yet! One direct competitor focuses on North-America while others in the EU are local and in their infancy.
EU Commission Cycling Strategy
2024 year of cycling, 2 million more jobs, infrastructure developments, significantly increasing ecosystem investments.
Why invest in Us?
BLOCK’s strong executive team, strategic partnerships and alignment with global sustainability trends make it a promising investment.
The company’s ability to adapt to various environments and integrate with Smart City initiatives further enhances its growth potential.
While challenges such as regulatory variations and competition exist, BLOCK’s proven technology and easily scaleable sales operations mitigate these risks, offering significant upside in a young, booming industry.
Both the P2 and S1 products bear design protection in the EU and the UK under EUIPO Nr. 015064455-0001 and Nr. 015064454-0001 respectively.

Investment opportunities
The scaleup to date had received €750 thousand in funding, both from a venture capital firm and from various EU grants and competition wins.
Revenue is ramping up but to conquer foreign markets and hire new talents, BLOCK is currently seeking the second half of its Seed round and wishes to carry out a capital increase of €1 million at a €3 million pre-money valuation in exchange for22% of its shares in Q3 2025.
The current shareholder structure is rather clean, comprising of the Founder & CEO as the majority owner, an institutional investor and a previous mentor (natural person). ESOP is also in progress with C-level employees claiming their first shares in Q2, 2025.
Soon…
Risk Mitigation
Each BLOCK project is supported by 3 year long maintenance & data processing contracts, ensuring a predictable cashflow.
By being part of the EIT Urban mobility ecosystem, BLOCK is a welcomed participant in most initiatives, whether it’s a City Raptor challenge or a direct recommendation between members.
The Founder dedicated his life to bring BLOCK to every city and make the brand a household name. Ultimate success will be achieved when cyclists and scooter riders will “block” their rides instead of locking or parking them. No stopping until then and especially not after.
