 For Immediate Release: September 13, 2019
Media Contact: Mary Lynch HOBOKEN, New Jersey – P3 Global Management (P3GM) has partnered with OjO Electric to provide a sustainable form of transportation in the City of Hoboken. As of September 12, 2019, OjO electric scooters will no longer be available throughout the city. Since inception, OjO Scooters have provided over 20,000 rides to 5,300 members. P3 Global Management has managed the operations of the scooter pilot in Hoboken since its launch in May, partnering with OjO Electric to provide a station-based system, focused on reducing car congestion and increasing mobility options responsibly. Unfortunately, certain members of the community have failed to exercise due responsibility and caution while using the services. OjO Electric and P3 Global Management have worked diligently to track and suspend the accounts of these users. This lack of regard for rules and safety procedures has been detrimental to the program and the public of Hoboken as scooters will no longer be available to those who deserve access. OjO Electric has dedicated itself to improving the experience for both users and pedestrians, with plans to introduce OjO 2.0 in the coming days, which features updated geo-fencing technology capable of enforcing no ride zones and speed restricted zones. This version also features audio alerts to notify riders of restrictions based on location and speed. P3GM and OjO Electric have had a presence in each community event requested by the City of Hoboken and/or Hoboken Police Department. The team has had staff on the ground 24 hours a day, seven days a week, operating two separate vehicles from 5AM through 10PM, with a single truck running the overnight shift. P3GM remains committed to the safety of Hoboken residents and visitors. We remain optimistic that Mayor Bhalla will allow us and OjO Electric the opportunity to address their concerns and pedestrian safety. We look forward to continuing our conversations with the City of Hoboken and the Hoboken Police Department to better serve the people of Hoboken.

P3GM Contact: Mary Lynch OjO Contact: Melanie Wine NEW YORK, NY – We are now 30 days into our electric scooter pilot program in Hoboken and thrilled with our initial ridership. Thank you for the warm reception on the streets of Hoboken as we enhance micro-mobility options. We continue to collaborate with the Mayor's Office, City Officials and the Hoboken Police Department to ensure the safety of the public is our shared number one priority. In line with our safety first philosophy, we'll be ramping up our user education programs in Hoboken to make sure riders better understand the rules of the road: riders must be 18 years of age or older; riders should never ride a scooter on the sidewalk; only one person per OjO is permitted and always ride with traffic flow. And remember helmets are always recommended. Together, let's promote smart and safe scootering. In conjunction with our partner, OjO Electric, we will be conducting additional fleet reviews which may cause OjO Electric scooters to be unavailable in Hoboken. In the interim, if you're in need of a ride around Hoboken, please check out shared bikes provided by JerseyBike.

"I am thrilled Hoboken is leading the way for the rest of the state to implement an additional mode of green transportation," Ravi S. Bhalla, the mayor of Hoboken, said in a statement. "Electric scooters will help residents easily travel around our city, reduce congestion on our roadways, and improve access to transit stations and
business districts." OjO offers an electric scooter rideshare program committed to collaborating with local governments to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Built for the bike lane and streets, off sidewalks and away from pedestrians, the OjO scooter is a safe, sustainable and structurally sound scooter for today's rapidly rideshare market. OjO has a swappable battery that allows it to go up to 25 miles on a full electric charge. OjO is initially permitted for 50 scooters in Hoboken, and currently is also permitted to operate in Austin, Texas and Dallas, Texas. OjO customers enjoy longer rides than typical kick-scooter riders, and increased mileage traveled, helping to reduce cars on the road and carbon emissions. "We are excited to bring OjO to Hoboken and be an integral part of the first scooter deployment in the tri-state area. We believe this area of the country is ripe for mobility improvements, and the cities and residents stand to benefit greatly, said Max Smith, CEO of OjO Electric. " The OjO scooter is a far different product than all of the kick-scooters in the market from a safety, quality and comfort standpoint, but the real difference maker for city planners and customers alike is usage and range. While kick-scooters are used for short trips, OjO is providing a true alternative to cars in the micro-mobility space by servicing longer trips." P3GM will provide operational support to OjO with boots on the ground in Hoboken and oversee OjO scooter deployment, balancing, service, repair and 24/7 customer service telephone support line. P3GM will utilize existing JerseyBike stations for scooter parking and will work with OjO to determine optimal neighborhood deployments. OjO and P3GM will share data on scooter usage and ride trends, which is possible with the scooter's on-board telemetry system with live-feed data transmission to share vehicle performance and information. This will help optimize the performance as well as address any potential maintenance issues. This functionality is in line with OjO's mandate to ensure maximum rider safety and superior user experience. On the heels of its successful launches in Austin, Dallas and Hoboken, OjO is gearing up to expand to additional markets in 2019 and will continue to work with experienced logistic companies to manage their operations. OjO has permit applications pending in several top 25 markets that are made up of the infrastructure and mobility offerings where OjO's rideshare program makes good sense.
