The startups rolling out of Europe’s early-stage micromobility scene

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-09-13 22:50:12

Tighter capital combined with an existential need to create sustainable business models has produced a new crop of micromobility startups.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Celero5G Tab is available for as low as $100 for existing customers, with a data line costing $20 a month. This is a simple, no-frills Android tablet that you can take anywhere with you for light work and entertainment, whether there's Wi-Fi or not.

According to a new report, the company expects to spend at least $13 billion throughout all of 2025, equivalent to just over $1 billion every month. Musk, of course, has called the report "nonsense." Citing the usual anonymous people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg writes that the $500 million that xAI will earn this year looks positively tiny next to the $13 billion it plans to spend.
