Show HN: Self-delivering autonomous bicycle

2 points

8 years ago

I interviewed for the YC summer batch yesterday with my cofounder justincorbett for our company Weel, we did not get in. The idea is that you order an ebike on your phone, it delivers itself to you, you ride it like a regular electric bicycle, and when you are done it rides itself away autonomously.

The feedback we got during the interview and in the email last night was that the idea was interesting but the partners were not convinced that this would become something many people would want given how many other alternatives people had for last mile transportation. Basically, it's overteched for the problem.

Today we are regrouping and taking a fresh look at our own biases and views. I'd love any feedback from HN folks on the idea itself, the feedback we got from YC, and any criticisms or ideas you might have.
