It's exciting to see such a positive outlook for the #micromobility sector! According to a recent report, one-third of consumers plan to increase their use of micromobility, and nearly half plan to replace their private vehicles with other modes of transport. By 2030, the global micromobility market is expected to reach $360 billion, up from $175 billion in 2022. This growth will be mainly driven by e-bike sales, with Europe representing the highest share of that value. #cargobikes #ebikes #chaindrive Source: https://lnkd.in/e4skPGtG

The micromobility industry had ups and downs last year, with demand increasing but providers struggling to remain solvent. What is on the horizon for scooters and e-bikes? In Southeast Michigan, micromobility was arguably at its peak right before the pandemic, with a multitude of options available in Detroit, Ann Arbor, and other downtowns. But over the past four years, their usage has wavered and companies run into operational issues. Take a look at how the rest of the country has handled the changes in micromobility over the past year: https://lnkd.in/e2vYEQmK
