Mobilboard, the network for outdoor activities involving low-impact mobility

The network now includes about twenty agencies located in cities and regions with high potential, such as Nice, Lyon, Annecy, La Rochelle, Strasbourg, and Carnac, as well as in other seaside resorts, mountain destinations, and major cities.
Our DNA:
- Fun and accessible experiences (guided tours, self-guided rentals, corporate events, and more).
- Sustainable transportation that meets the current expectations of travelers and residents.
- A local approach: each branch develops its offerings in line with its specific region. Join
Mobilboard means joining a community of leaders who share the same goals: building a profitable business, offering memorable experiences to their customers, and promoting their destination.
What Mobilboard Brings to Your Project
Starting an outdoor activities agency is about more than just buying equipment and creating a website. Mobilboard provides you with a comprehensive platform to accelerate your growth and safeguard your investment.
1. A brand and immediate visibility
- A brand widely recognized by the general public in the world of active leisure.
- A national website with a large audience that directs traffic to your agency.
- Agency microsites optimized for bookings and local search engine optimization.
- A structured presence on key visibility channels (search engines, booking platforms, social media).
Result: You gain credibility and visibility right from the start.
2. Tools for selling, managing, and building customer loyalty
Mobilboard provides you with an ecosystem of tools designed for the leisure industry:
- Online booking software: scheduling, time slots, capacity, and multi-activity management.
- Secure online payment and deposit management.
- Customer database and history tracking to facilitate repeat business.
- Dashboards to manage your business (revenue, foot traffic, seasonality, etc.).
You’ll spend less time on administrative tasks and focus on what creates value: your customers and your partnerships.
3. Turnkey marketing and an integrated studio
You’re not on your own when it comes to marketing:
- Brand guidelines and brand identity immediately available.
- Templates for marketing materials (posters, flyers, social media graphics, web banners, etc.).
- Support for your local marketing campaigns and sales initiatives.
- Option to use the network’s graphic design studio for specific requests.
You benefit from professional communications that align with Mobilboard’s national brand image, while retaining control over your local messaging.
4. A proven, scalable, and adaptable product offering
By joining Mobilboard, you gain access to a catalog of activities and formats that have already been proven effective across the network:
- Guided tours on Segways, bicycles, or scooters.
- Self-guided rentals (individuals, families, groups).
- Corporate offerings: team-building, seminars, and team-building events.
You can adapt these concepts to your local area and clientele, while benefiting from the feedback and experience of other agencies.
Your Day-to-Day Life as a Mobilboard Operator
Behind every Mobilboard agency lies the life of an entrepreneur shaped by seasonal fluctuations and customer satisfaction.
On a daily basis, you’ll:
- Welcome recreational customers (tourists, families, couples, groups of friends) and business customers (companies, event agencies, local governments).
- Supervise or organize tours and activities on Segways, bicycles, or scooters.
- Build your local network: hotels, tourist offices, travel agencies, employee committees, and businesses.
- Manage your team (seasonal staff, guides, receptionists) during peak season.
- Manage your schedule, reservations, vehicle fleet, and communications.
This is the perfect career for those who prefer to be out in the field rather than behind a desk, who enjoy interacting with people, and who want to help others discover their region in a unique way.
Who can become a Mobilboard franchisee?
You don’t need to be an expert in mobility or tourism to join us. However, certain qualities make all the difference:
- You have a knack for sales and enjoy building a network of partners.
- You’re comfortable speaking and interacting with customers, in French and ideally in English.
- You enjoy working outdoors and the energy of the tourist seasons.
- You want to run your own business with the freedom to make your own decisions.
Our franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds:
- Entrepreneurs changing careers.
- Tourism or event industry professionals.
- Executives or managers of existing businesses (bike rentals, recreational centers, outdoor service providers) who want to join a strong brand and structure their growth.
If this sounds like you, Mobilboard can help accelerate your project.
Where should you open your Mobilboard agency?
Mobilboard locations are established in places where people want to get around, explore, and have fun without a car:
- Major cities and metropolitan areas
- Coastal areas
- Mountains and lakes
- Locations with great outdoor potential
We work with you to analyze:
- customer potential (leisure, business, groups),
- existing competition,
- the project’s feasibility (facilities, location, regulatory environment).
You can contact us to find out if your city or region is available and what type of Mobilboard project would be most suitable there.
Comprehensive support, before and after opening
Joining Mobilboard isn’t just about using a brand—it’s about benefiting from structured support at every stage.
Before opening
- Analysis of your project and your area.
- Help defining your local business model (mix of recreational, corporate, and street marketing activities).
- Advice on the location, setup, and vehicle fleet.
Initial Training
- You’ll complete a comprehensive training program covering:
- Vehicle operation and safety.
- Customer service and support.
- Using digital tools (booking, CRM, website, etc.).
- Sales and marketing fundamentals.
Objective: to enable you to launch your business with a solid foundation, allowing you to be effective both on the front lines and in management.
After opening
- Network coordination: communication between branches, feedback, and best practices.
- Support with tools, marketing, and product offerings.
- Launching national or multi-agency campaigns.
You’re never on your own: you’re part of a network that supports one another and shares the same ambition.
A simple and transparent brand licensing model
Mobilboard operates under a brand licensing agreement rather than a traditional franchise, with a deliberately transparent model:
- You pay an entry fee upon signing, which gives you access to the brand, tools, resources, and training.
- You then pay a fixed monthly fee, regardless of your revenue.
- There are no commissions or percentage-based fees based on your revenue.
- You benefit from territorial exclusivity as defined in your contract.
This model allows you to:
- better control your expenses,
- to benefit from the strength of a network while remaining independent in managing your agency,
- to invest more in your local growth (marketing, partnerships, team).
We review each project individually to provide you with an investment budget tailored to your situation (starting from scratch, taking over an existing business, transforming an existing business, etc.).
