Stockholm-based startup Standab has raised €3.6 million ($3.9 million) to expand its cross-brand charging network for e-bikes and e-scooters across Europe, with plans to enter 15 cities within a year.
The company has developed a patented charging station, branded Marma, which it says is compatible with more than 85% of existing scooter and e-bike fleets. The solution resembles a reinforced bike stand with integrated charging and is also suitable for other light electric vehicles. Standab works with micromobility operators such as Dott and Tier, as well as municipalities and transit providers, through its Charging-as-a-Service model.
Spintop Ventures and Almi Invest GreenTech led the latest funding round, which will support Standab’s European expansion by the second half of 2026. The firm says its model offers operators an alternative to battery-swapping and private charging, which it calls inefficient and costly. In pilot projects, the system reduced charging costs by 50%, improved fleet availability by 45%, and cut swap tasks by more than half, according to Standab.
“Cities and operators alike are calling for smarter ways to integrate micromobility into the urban landscape,” CEO Marcus Adolfsson said. “Our universal charging solution solves operational inefficiencies while reducing emissions and creating cleaner streets.”
