SWING is a mobility startup founded with the vision of ‘turning cities for cars into cities for people’ and recorded sales of 70 billion KRW in 2024 with 5 consecutive years of operating profit.
To return the space taken by parking lots and roads to people, dependency on private cars must be reduced.
SWING provides various services such as personal mobility devices, taxis, and buses to ensure convenience in moving without private cars.
• SWING (bike/kickboard sharing service): Operating 150,000 devices, the largest in the industry. In 2024, it accelerated the expansion of its operating area by acquiring its competitor, Deer.
• SWING BIKE (mobility lease/rental service for delivery riders): In just 2 years since its launch, it claimed the 3rd place in the industry and is set to take the 1st place by 2025.
• Swap (bicycle subscription service): Based on the know-how accumulated from shared services, it started Korea's first bicycle subscription/sale service and is emerging as a dark horse in the stagnant bicycle market.
• SWING TAXI (ride-hailing): Challenging Kakao Mobility’s dominance, it is the fastest in the industry at gathering passengers and drivers. It will help create a true ride-hailing app, not just a simple matching app.
• Yellow Bus (children's school vehicle service): A shuttle service for academies acquired by SWING in 2025. It safely supports the mobility of students, honoring the sentiments of parents who personally drive their children in their own cars.
Swap by The Swing is a leader in the electric bicycle subscription service, providing innovative mobility solutions. It is creating a new subscription-centered paradigm in a market that was previously focused on purchases and is rapidly growing through the expansion of its nationwide dealer network.
As the variety of services increases, we are looking for more passionate colleagues. Please check the recruitment announcement below for more details.
