Built Russia's leading electric scooter-sharing platform with operations in 60+ cities, pioneering micromobility as a mainstream urban transport mode
Dmitry Chuyko leads Whoosh as CEO, overseeing Russia's largest and most established electric scooter-sharing platform. Operating in over 60 Russian cities, Whoosh provides short-distance urban transportation through a fleet of shared electric kick scooters available via a mobile app. The company was the first Russian micromobility platform to list on the Moscow Exchange. E-scooter sharing addresses the "last mile" urban transportation problem — the gap between public transit stops and final destinations. Whoosh has expanded rapidly across Russian cities, benefiting from the absence of major international competitors (Lime, Bird, and other global operators are not present in Russia). The seasonal nature of the business in Russia (winter significantly reduces ridership) is a structural challenge that Whoosh manages through fleet redeployment and maintenance during off-season months. The micromobility industry globally is maturing, with a focus shifting from growth at any cost to unit economics and profitability. Key stock drivers include trip volumes and revenue per trip, geographic expansion to new cities, fleet utilization and seasonal patterns, unit economics improvement, regulatory environment for e-scooters in Russian cities (speed limits, parking rules, age restrictions), competition with Yandex Go and other mobility platforms, scooter lifecycle and replacement costs, and the overall adoption trajectory of micromobility in Russian urban transportation.
