How can we contribute to a cleaner and ordered micromobility schemes?

Micromobility has experienced swift market penetration in urban areas and several cities are supporting related sharing schemes, while developing an adequate policy framework. The rise of shared e-scooter reduces car usage while encouraging sustainable mobility trends, mainly for short trips, and even those that can be the first and last-mile connectors of the backbone transport system.

Their arrival on our streets a few years ago experienced a quick growth in popularity and usage, and they are a commonplace in the European main cities. However, there are still a number of challenges that need to be addressed by policymakers to ensure the orderly, safe and sustainable growth of these services.

Some of the challenges that micromobility is facing

Public space invasion

The arrival of e-scooters to the cities has been causing several problems in terms of public space invasion, especially in pedestrian areas, due to the clutter and blockage of sidewalks.

The operating costs

The operating costs linked to charging the e-scooters (such as having some staff in the streets, collecting the e-scooters) and vandalism-related ones (stolen, vandalized and damaged e-scooters).

Cleaner energy

There is a need to improve the source energy that e-scooters are using, making them more sustainable by guaranteeing the renewable origin.

The Solution

The partners of the Cleanergy4Micromobility project, will develop docks for e-scooters that can be easily placed everywhere including:

Solar pavement that provides renewable energy

100% clean source of energy with battery storage system completely off-grid, speeding up paperwork and installation.

Cableless e-scooter attachment

To avoid vandalism and to organize the parking of e-scooters in the cities, with a urban design available for attach multi-operator e-scooters.

Helmet’s storage

Adequate helmet’s storage space in the dock in order to increase the user safety.
