Micro-mobility refers to the use of bicycles, electric scooters, and e-bikes for short-distance commuting within urban areas. Users typically rent these scooters or bikes for a limited time through a mobile application.
The main types of micro-mobility options include bicycles, e-bikes, e-kick scooters, and other similar modes of transportation. An e-kick scooter is a vehicle that can be stood on and propelled at a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour by an electric motor. These scooters operate at various speeds, such as up to 25 kmph and 25-45 kmph, and can be human-powered or electrically powered. They may be part of different sharing models, including docked and dockless systems. Ownership models can include business-to-business and business-to-consumer arrangements.

The rising demand for public transportation is expected to drive the growth of the micro-mobility market in the coming years. Public transportation is a mode of local transit that enables multiple people to travel together along designated routes, including buses, trains, and metros. Micro-mobility enhances movement within populated areas, improves individual mobility, and provides users with easier access to transportation. Additionally, urbanization has further boosted the demand for micro-mobility as more people require convenient transportation options. For instance, in April 2024, according to the American Public Transportation Association, a US-based non-profit organization, transit travelers took 7.1 billion trips on public transportation in 2023, marking a 16% increase from 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for public transportation is expected to propel the micro-mobility market.
Major companies in the micro-mobility market are focusing on innovative solutions such as ultra-portable foldable electric scooters to improve convenience, storage efficiency, and sustainable urban commuting. Ultra-portable foldable electric scooters are compact, lightweight vehicles designed for quick folding, easy carrying, and seamless multi-modal travel, offering benefits like simple storage in small spaces and integration with public transport. For instance, in January 2024, Riley Scooters Limited, a UK-based manufacturer, launched the Riley RS3, a foldable e-scooter aimed at supporting daily commuting and last-mile mobility. The RS3 features a 350 W motor with up to 700 W peak output, a removable battery providing a range of around 25 km per charge, and a durable, weather-resistant lightweight frame with multiple riding modes and advanced braking systems, including disc brakes and E-ABS. The RS3 enhances portability, space efficiency, and rider convenience for urban users seeking compact, eco-friendly transportation that can be easily folded and carried during mixed-mode travel.
