Dott

Dott is a European shared micromobility operator running fleets of electric scooters and e-bikes across 250+ cities in Europe and the Middle East. Formed from the 2024 merger of Dott and TIER (the TIER brand was retired into the Dott app that year), the company is headquartered in Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. For developers and mobility-data partners, Dott publishes its fleet data through the open GBFS 2.3 standard: real-time vehicle locations, vehicle types, per-city pricing plans, geofencing zones and station data are served from gbfs.api.ridedott.com, with an authenticated partner variant carrying stable (non-rotating) vehicle IDs. Originally added to the API Evangelist network as a SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio lead, enriched from its live public developer surface.

Dott publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Discovery API, Stations API, System API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Company, Transportation, Micromobility, Mobility, and E-Scooter.

Dott’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, code examples, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.
