Smaller vehicles. Smarter cities.
Welcome to the age of micromobility
As cities expand and more people flock to urban centers, the need for space-efficient, practical transportation solutions has never been greater. Vehicles such as our e-scooters and the Microlino are designed to support modern urban mobility by offering flexible options for everyday journeys.
Consider this: When did you last drive more than 200 kilometres in a single day? How often do you carry more than two passengers in your car? Many everyday trips involve short distances and only one or two people, creating opportunities for compact mobility solutions such as scooters, e-bikes and microcars.
Which micromobility solution fits your lifestyle?
Mobility needs are as diverse as the people who use them. Some live in busy city centres, others in suburban neighbourhoods or regions with different mobility challenges. Whatever the situation, finding practical, space-efficient and enjoyable ways to get around is becoming increasingly important. That's why we've created three micromobility categories:
| Kategorie | Ideal für | Reichweite |
|---|---|---|
| E-Scooter & E-Bike | Short distances, combined with public transport | Up to 30 km |
| Microletta | Medium distances, weaving through traffic | Up to 100 km |
| Microlino | Medium to long distances | Up to 200 km |
Our strategy: Private E-scooters instead of rental scooters
As pioneers in micromobility, we have believed for more than 25 years that compact mobility solutions can play an important role in urban transportation. Scooters are lightweight, space-efficient and well suited to many everyday journeys.
While parts of the market have focused on free-floating e-scooter sharing models, we have chosen to focus on personal ownership. We believe that personally owned vehicles can encourage responsible use, longer product lifecycles and a more direct relationship between users and their mobility products.
A study published by ETH Zurich in 2022 indicates that privately owned e-scooters may offer environmental advantages compared with certain shared mobility models, particularly when vehicle lifetimes and operational requirements are taken into account.
Our strategy therefore focuses on personal ownership. Because our e-scooters are lightweight and foldable, they can easily be stored at home, taken into the office and combined with public transport, supporting flexible everyday mobility.
Shaping policy for a smaller, smarter mobility future
Micro actively engages with industry associations, policymakers and other stakeholders to contribute to discussions on the future of urban mobility. We advocate for regulatory frameworks that take into account the specific characteristics of light electric vehicles such as the Microlino and support a diverse range of mobility solutions for urban environments.
As mobility needs continue to evolve, we believe that compact vehicle concepts can play an important role alongside public transport, active mobility and other forms of transportation.
