Micro-mobility (scooters) refers to small, lightweight vehicles designed for short-distance travel and urban commuting, often powered electrically or manually. These scooters offer an efficient, convenient, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional transportation methods.
The main types of micro-mobility scooters include bicycles, e-bikes, e-kick scooters, and others. Bicycles are traditional pedal-powered two-wheel vehicles used for personal transport. E-bikes and e-kick scooters are electric-powered variants. Battery types for these vehicles include lithium-ion, lithium-ion polymer, lead acid, and others. They come in various sharing models, such as docked and dockless, and different ownership structures, including business-to-business and business-to-consumer. These vehicles are used in a range of applications, from private use to commercial purposes.

The micro mobility (scooters) market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $23.19 billion in 2024 to $28.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for micro-mobility and economical touring options, demand for last-mile connectivity solutions, rise in electric bike and scooter usage, increase in shared mobility services, and growing urbanization.
The micro mobility (scooters) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising greenhouse gas emissions, demand for electric skateboards and electric bicycles, rising investments in clean energy, rising traffic congestion, and consumer preference for sustainable transportation. Major trends in the forecast period include integrating with edge computing technology and internet of things (IoT) devices, technological advancements, introducing cutting-edge features and capabilities in e-scooters, e-bikes, and other micro-mobility solutions, integrating global positioning system (GPS) navigation, and innovations in improved battery management systems.
The rise in shared mobility services is anticipated to drive the growth of the micro-mobility (scooters) market in the future. Shared mobility services encompass transportation options that enable users to share vehicles, such as cars, bikes, or scooters, on a short-term basis. This increase in shared mobility services is driven by factors including consumer demand for sustainability, economic considerations, urbanization, infrastructure development, and supportive regulations and policies. Micro-mobility scooters enhance shared mobility services by offering convenient last-mile transportation solutions that improve accessibility and reduce congestion. For example, in July 2023, the European Commission reported an 11% increase in overall ridership for shared mobility services compared to Q1 2022. Dockless bikes saw the most significant growth, with a 33% rise in trips over the past year. Consequently, the growth in shared mobility services is contributing to the expansion of the micro-mobility (scooters) market.
Major companies in the micro-mobility (scooters) market are creating innovative solutions like kick scooters to improve urban transportation and encourage sustainable commuting. Kick scooters are lightweight, non-motorized devices designed for short-distance travel, often utilized in cities for convenient and eco-friendly transport. For example, in October 2022, NIU Technologies, an electric scooter company based in China, introduced the KQi3 Max kick scooter, which can reach speeds of 20 MPH and has a range of 40.4 miles. Equipped with a 40v lithium battery, the KQi3 Max offers four customizable riding modes, a wider deck, and a weight capacity of 265 pounds, ensuring comfort and stability for riders of various sizes.
