Micro-mobility

Micromobility normally refers to small, electric-powered private or shared use vehicles that are used for short trips and includes things like e-scooters, cargo-bikes, segways and e-bikes.

E-scooters and e-bikes can be a great alternative to driving for first- and last-mile journeys that may be too long or too difficult for some people to walk or cycle. In many towns and cities, e-cargo bikes are replacing small vans and e-scooter hire schemes are allowing people to try out this newer form of transport. With appropriate safeguards and regulation in place, private e-scooters would be a welcome addition to the sustainable travel options available to suit people’s individual needs.

We want to see micromobility modes integrated with the rest of the transport system and the appropriate infrastructure to support them.
