LOOPShare Announces Partnership with Harbour Air to Launch Electric Scooter Sharing Service in Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2019) - LOOPShare Ltd. (TSXV: LOOP) (OTCQB: LPPPF), world's first fully-integrated electric scooter sharing platform, is pleased to announce a partnership with Harbour Air to launch its electric scooter ridesharing service into Vancouver, British Columbia. Loop's electric scooters will be available for use in Vancouver on a station to station basis with pick-up and drop-off locations located at Harbour Air terminal points, hotels and restaurant partners.

Harbour Air is North America's largest seaplane airline - and the first to be fully carbon-neutral. With a showcase fleet of more than 40 aircraft, Harbour Air offers up to 300 daily scheduled flights, scenic tours, adventure packages, and private flights. Harbour Air recently demonstrated its commitment to green electric transportation by announcing partnership to transform Harbour Air seaplanes into an all-electric commercial fleet powered by the magni500, a 750 horsepower (HP) all-electric motor.

The partnership with Loop will provide Harbour Air customers, residents of the Lower Mainland and tourists with access to Loop's electric scooters to use for transportation and sightseeing within Vancouver. Loop intends to launch a pilot deployment of up to 88 electric scooters for ridesharing, with plans to expand the fleet after conclusion of the pilot. The pilot will last for three months commencing in the third quarter of 2019. Loop share will provide the electric scooters and all operational support for the venture. Harbour Air will provide access to parking facilities at its terminal locations and assist with identifying additional private parking locations at hotel and restaurant partners.

After the completion of the pilot period, subject to the attainment of certain key performance indicators, the parties intend to enter into a longer-term agreement to deploy electric scooters for ridesharing in Vancouver. Additional details, including the official launch date and how users can access these electric scooters, will be provided prior the scheduled 2019 launch date.

Matthew Clayton, Executive Chair of LOOPShare commented: "With Harbour Air's commitment to sustainability and green transportation, they make an ideal partner for LOOPShare to launch with in Vancouver," said Matthew Clayton, Executive Chair of LOOPShare. "Driven by our commitment to follow the City of Vancouver's regulations and guidelines, I am excited to be launching the Loop electric scooter ridesharing service in our hometown of Vancouver for residents and tourists alike, confirming its status as one of the world's greenest cities."

"Harbour Air is excited to be involved with LOOPShare as we have the ability to provide convenient, accessible locations upon launch. It is yet another forward thinking, green transportation option for British Columbians and Visitors to our beautiful city" stated Harbour Air Executive Vice President, Chad Wetsch.
