This is neat idea: offering rebates to help subsidize #micromobility purchases in order to replace trips by car in specific regions/neighborhoods. (Obviously my preference would be to offer broad subsidies at high levels of city or state governments. But programs like this are certainly far better than nothing!)

YES!

I’ve been a huge fan of Freshly Charged for a long time…basically my go-to channel any time I want to learn more about the latest e-scooters and e-bikes. I’ve been eagerly awaiting their coverage of the latest slate of Segway scooters, and here’s a ride-along with initial thoughts on the MAX G3.

I wasn’t in the market for this much scooter, but now that I’m seeing this one in action and what it’s capable of…da-y-um. 😅

My latest for the Cycles Hyped No More newsletter:

A leap of 25% in a single generational shift in battery technology is truly remarkable. It would mean that you could either buy the same EV and get a significantly higher amount of range, or you could buy a car with today's typical range and save on the lower battery cost.

Obviously with my personal focus on #micromobility I salivate at the possibility that e-bikes & e-scooters could likewise see range gains of 25%… 🤯

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has been hailed as a visionary who transformed this iconic city into a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly oasis.

And rightfully so—yet it certainly wasn’t all her doing and she was aided and prodded along by well-organized advocacy groups. Tom Babin of Shifter has the scoop in this entertaining video with beautiful scenes of Paris.

It’s a #micromobility miracle!

“Pedestrians crossing the street wherever they like….It’s just stupid & lazy, not to mention dangerous.” –Joy M.

No Joy, it’s the *cars* that are dangerous, NOT the pedestrians!

I’m proud that #Portland has a thriving #micromobility scene—bikes, scooters, etc. sharing space with cars.
