Pollen

Pollen is an electric mobility infrastructure company that provides universal battery swapping stations for electric two-wheeled vehicles including mopeds and motorcycles. The platform offers a battery subscription model where riders can exchange depleted batteries for fully charged units at Pollen stations in seconds, available 24/7 without logins or waiting. Pollen universal battery supports multiple vehicle brands including Horwin, Niu, Vmoto, Honda, Yamaha, and Askoll, eliminating vendor lock-in and fragmented infrastructure. The system is designed to make electric riding cheaper than petrol, with no downtime for charging and full performance from fresh batteries. Pollen stations are currently live in Lisbon, Portugal, with expansion planned across Southern Europe where two-wheel vehicles are a primary mode of transportation. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Pollen has raised approximately $3.8 million in seed funding from investors including Pale Blue Dot, MSM, K Fund, Bynd Venture Capital, and 4P CAPITAL.
