British navigation innovator Beeline has launched the all-new Velo 2, which marks an exciting step for the company.

Mobile based navigation app with map showing route, alongside bar mounted devise showing distance and direction information The launch comes as the business celebrates reaching its 1 Millionth Ride, using either a Beeline Velo or Beeline Moto, resulting from an astonishing 45,199,961 kilometres covered, the business looks to grow its user base and build exciting partnerships, helping more people have great 2 wheeled travel experiences.

Co-founder Mark Jenner said: ‘’We are delighted to have reached the significant milestone of a million rides being travelled using our technology – as we launch the Beeline Velo 2.”

‘’As a company, we want our technology to unlock better, safer, and more enjoyable rides for as many people as possible. This is an exciting time for us and for cycling in general, and we want to continue developing and improving our software to provide the very best ride experience’’

With this in mind, B2B integrations are planned, and in discussion. As an example, there is an integration with micromobility operator Tier, with navigation in the Tier app being provided by Beeline, and the same interface as on the Beeline app. This is an exploratory step at the moment, as e-scooters and bikes have the same infrastructure needs. There’s also potential for partnership with the e-bike manufacturers directly, integrating Beeline navigation within the hardware of the bike.

Beeline has been backed by Seedcamp and True.Global as well as The Mayor of London’s Co-investment Fund, Earlymarket and equity crowdfunding community, Seedrs. It is the recipient of grants from the European Space Agency and Innovate UK.
