LAST WEEK IN MICROMOBILITY

This ain’t our first rodeo: The turn of the century saw a rise in scooters, allowing freedom of movement for riders and sparking street usage issues for pedestrians. What’s old is new again.

Moped diet: Upcoming national weight restrictions for hugely popular electric mopeds in China increase sales due to expected higher costs while accelerating new battery technology adoption.

Lime v Bird: Lime overtakes Bird as two company’s strategies diverge, Lime focusing on expansion, Bird on unit economics.

Parisian mobility: Greater Paris set to invest 100M Euros to increase cycling by 2 million rides per day via additional bike lanes and electric bike rental subsidies.

2-Hour Shipping: Supermarket co-op launches e-bike delivery service in London promising food/grocery delivery in under two hours. 2-day shipping is so 2018.

Sweeping bike tax cuts: Belgian parliament slashes taxes on bikes and e-bikes from 21 to 6% to send “a strong message to promote cycling,” increase health, reduce traffic, lower emissions, and reduce the car’s strain on the economy.

Scooter long haul: Writer/artist rides scooter one way out of San Francisco to answer age-old edge case questions, and presumably, for kicks.
