Micromobility & Insurance

May 21, 2019

There are many things changing within the transportation landscape but what’s really been taking center stage is micromobility. Micromobility refers to the use of small manually or electrically powered vehicles used to travel short distances. Bicycles and e-bicycles are probably the most common examples of micromobility but other examples include electric cars and all sorts of scooters. Micromobility arose out of something known as the first mile/last mile problem. This refers to the main issue that has the potential to plague even cities with the best public transportation systems. Not everyone is able to live or work within walking distance of a transit station and so many cities suffer from parking problems, traffic congestion, and excessive auto emissions.
