Jelly was a dockless scooter-share company founded in September 2018 for the purposes of performing transportation research at Purdue University.[1]. Jelly was run by Ford X[2], a division within Ford Smart Mobility, a subsidiary of Ford Motors.[3]
The Jelly project served to evaluate electric scooters as a last mile solution for the Ford Motor Company[4] and ultimately informed their purchase of Spin on November 7, 2018[5]. Jelly ceased operations in December 2018[6]
