Online marketplace for renting motorbikes
Introduction Flexbike is an online marketplace that allows individuals to browse, book and have delivered scooters, motorcycles and cars across the island of Bali, Indonesia. The solution consists of a native iOS and Android app that facilitates the entire rental and payment process for consumers and also acts as a complete booking management system for rental companies.
Traction to date Since launching in June 2023, Flexbike has grown to become one of the largest motorcycle rental apps in Southeast Asia. Key numbers: Vehicles currently listed: 1,600 Registered users: 1,700 Registers rental companies: 500 Total transaction volume: $35,000
Alongside Bali, the app also includes all features necessary to cater to the Thai market such as THB currency payments.
Business model Flexbike takes 15% commission from all bookings it facilitates. This percentage is seen as fair by nearly all rental companies and there has been minimal push back. There is additional opportunity to experiment with subscriptions payments from the rental businesses that use the Flexbike software to manage their operations.
Opportunity The Flexbike mobile app has been proven as a valuable proposition, both for consumers, to improve the rental experience and also for rental companies to help them attract more customers and improve the efficiency of their operations.
There is a significant opportunity for a buyer to take this business on and scale it to the next level, either as a stand-alone proposition or as part of another business.
The global motorcycle rental market size currently stands at $11B with a compound annual growth rate of 4.9% meaning it is forecast to reach $16B by 2032*. With Southeast Asia being the epicenter of this growth, Flexbike is poised to take advantage of it.
