About Us

Urban Machina Inc. (UMI) was founded on the need to improve the urban commute. We strive to make the "One-Car-Less" vision achievable by providing the public with an eco-friendly, fun and alternative way to commute. We are the exclusive distributors in Canada for various brands of foldable electric scooters.

Your Typical Day

As the technician of UMI, you'll get customers ready for their urban ride. You'll take the scooters apart, put them back together, and provide the servicing required in between. In the morning, you will come in and check what scooters are assigned to your job board. Sometimes urgent jobs will show up and you will need to learn how to prioritize.

You'll be learning about the newest technologies in the electric scooter realm and there's a high chance you will fall in love with them! Our technicians are the first ones to test out new models we want to carry. If you guys don't like them, chances are we won't either!

If you find taking machines apart to find out how it works, and putting it back together fun and challenging, then this is the position for you! Training will be provided.
