The automotive industry saw a significant shift during the COVID-19 pandemic, with consumers increasingly adopting micro-mobility solutions like biking and e-scooters for short-distance travel. However, this trend faces challenges such as fragmented infrastructure, costly repairs, and safety concerns. A platform addressing these gaps could make micro-mobility more viable and accelerate the move away from car dependency.
One way to tackle these issues is by creating a micro-mobility enablement platform with three integrated services:
This ecosystem would bring together riders, technicians, and city planners, creating incentives for sustained micro-mobility use.
The platform could benefit multiple stakeholders:
Potential revenue streams include:
A phased approach could start with a repair network MVP in one city, partnering with local bike shops and freelancers. Later phases could introduce safety courses and city analytics tools. Unlike existing solutions—such as Lime (rentals only) or Velofix (repairs only)—this idea combines repairs, safety, and urban planning into a single ecosystem, making micro-mobility more practical and scalable.
By addressing micro-mobility's pain points holistically, this platform could carve out a unique niche in the evolving transportation landscape.
