	Knot KNOT solves the last mile problem with the kick scooter rental system. Lighter, easier, and more practical in installation and operation than a shared bicycle system, KNOT kick scooters are sidewalk-friendly and very portable. KNOT develops station-based system (when scooters are parked into a station once you finish the ride) or free float solution. Free float means that scooters are located at random spots throughout the city and user can locate and unlock them via an app. Station mode is perfect for electric scooters and takes up to 8 times less space than a bicycle.
