What is Micromobility?

This term refers to machines that enable last mile (or so) trips in urban areas that can replace car trips. These machines are generally small, so take up little road space, are electric, operated by one person, and have a low momentum, meaning they have a low weight and speed (usually capped at 15.5 mph).
