Vammo raises $45M Series B to scale electric motorcycles and battery-swap network in Brazil and Latin America
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Vammo Series B raises $45 million to expand electric motorcycles and battery-swapping infrastructure across Brazil and Latin America. The round strengthens Vammo’s ambition to decarbonize high-utilization urban logistics, starting with delivery riders who depend on fast turnarounds and predictable operating costs — a segment where electrification delivers immediate efficiency and economic gain.

Founded in 2022 by Billy Blaustein and Jack Sarvary, São Paulo-based Vammo operates an end-to-end electrified fleet ecosystem: subscription-based e-motorcycles, proprietary telematics, and a network of battery-swap stations engineered to eliminate charging downtime. The company reports 5,000 electric motorcycles in circulation and 150 swap stations across Greater São Paulo — one of the densest two-wheeler logistics corridors outside Asia.

The $45 million Series B was led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund (EIF), with participation from 2150Qualcomm VenturesConstruct CapitalManiv MobilityMonashees, and former Tesla executives. The round builds on Vammo’s previously disclosed $30 million Series A and reinforces Brazil’s emergence as a scale market for electrified last-mile logistics.

Cofounder and CEO Jack Sarvary says the company will invest more than R$500 million in its manufacturing hub in the Manaus Free-Trade Zone, expand infrastructure in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and accelerate entry into Mexico and other Latin American cities. Vammo also expects to secure up to $75 million in debt over the next 24 months to support fleet expansion and battery-infrastructure financing.

Brazil and Mexico are among the world’s largest motorcycle markets, driven by e-commerce and gig-delivery platforms. As Brazil advances zero-emission delivery corridors and EV supply-chain incentives, Vammo’s integrated model — battery-as-a-service, distributed energy operations, telematics, and fleet leasing — aligns with electrification playbooks in India and Southeast Asia.
