How do new mobility forms fit in?

In recent years, a range of new mobility devices have become commonplace in our cities. We refer to these lightweight and emissions-free forms of transport as micromobility.

Examples of micromobility are electric scooters, skateboards, bicycles, sometimes privately owned, sometimes provided as a short-term hire services by municipalities or private operators.

The following infographs by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) explains the concept in detail.

Your Task

What types of micromobility exist in your city or region? Which ones do you use yourself (if any)? How has their availability or distribution changed over the last few years?
