Why Is Urban Youth Opting For Micromobility Services?

Micromobility solutions, such as bike sharing, scooter sharing, and kick scooter sharing services, enable commuters to cover a distance of fewer than 5 miles per trip. Such micromobility services intend to bridge the gap between first and last-mile connectivity, which cannot be achieved through ride hailing and carsharing services. Moreover, the provision of such services through dock-less or station-less model enables commuters to drop off bikes, kick scooters, and scooters at any place as per their convenience.

In recent years, micromobility solutions have become very popular among the millennials and Gen Z, owing to their easy availability and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the surging penetration of smartphones, reducing battery costs, increasing use of mobile payments, and rising developments in global positioning system (GPS) technology will fuel the micromobility market at a CAGR of 19.9% during 2019–2025. The market was valued at $3.0 billion in 2018 and it is projected to reach around $9.8 billion revenue by 2025.

The burgeoning shift of the urban population toward micromobility solutions can be credited to the rapid introduction of new services, owing to the influx of hefty investments in the development of advanced micromobility solutions. Such investments are being made in established companies as well as start-ups offering kick scooter sharing, scooter sharing, and bike sharing services. For instance, in 2018, Balderton Capital, a London-based venture capital firm, invested $50 million in VOI Technology AB, a Swedish kick scooter sharing company.

Moreover, in October 2019, Uber partnered with Cityscoot to integrate the scooter sharing service of the latter with its booking platform application.
