AYO (Ride Ayo) is a legitimate micro-mobility project based in Sweden focusing on hotel-based scooter rentals. However, the submission contains severely exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') that contradict external data showing it is a small, local operation with a team of ~3-6 people. While the hotel-niche concept is valid, the project lacks significant verifyable traction, and the submission quality is unprofessional.
