Safe Micromobility webinar
ITF Meeting
Results from the recent Corporate Partnership Board report are presented online from 13:00 to 14:00 CEST.
In a fast-evolving urban transport environment, micromobility is changing how people move. Electric scooters, e-bikes, motorised skateboards and other light personal mobility devices have become hugely popular, along with traditional bicycles, for short trips. This brings new and urgent challenges for policymakers and city officials.
The report offers a framework to define micromobility and proposes categories based on mass and speed to classify them. It compares the safety of powered standing scooters (e-scooters) to bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles, and includes 10 recommendations for safe micromobility.
