➡️ Operators and cities working on increasing the sustainability ♻️ of shared scooters 🛴
➡️ Focusing on swappable batteries 🔋, using smaller (e.g. cargo bikes, small pods) and zero emission vehicles ⚡️ for fleet ops
➡️ Scooters getting smarter 🧠 itself, by running onboard real time hazards and failure diagnosis, followed by scooter protection and automated ticketing 🎫

➡️ Sensors are added to scooters, to detect side walk riding, allow collision warning or for V2X communication. Ensure proper parking, valet driving and reducing speed in slow zones are also part of the game.
➡️ The smartphone 📱 of the user is getting more important for location accuracy, navigation 🧭 or crash detection 🤕
➡️ Cities with permits focus also on accessibility, access for low-income / underserved communities an distribution of scooters beyond city centres.
Impressive to see the effort, some seems to be a bit over the top.
Thanks to Feishen for supporting this report - reach out to Mei if you are interested in their e-scooter 🛴 and battery swapping tech. I really enjoyed “surfing” their scooter 👌, as Tao would say ;)
