oBike's new majority shareholder is aiming to become a global player in the personal mobility device (PMD) scene - but under a different brand.
Founded by a young Costa Rican investor, Omni Sharing yesterday applied for a sandbox licence to rent out 500 e-scooters here under the 0mn1 brand. Mr Oscar Moises Chaves is the head of investment firm OSS Inversiones, which bought oBike last September.
