Micromobility solutions focus on using new technologies beyond cars to encourage people to use public transit or lighter modes of transportation to reduce road congestion and improve commuting and travel in urban areas. Launched in 2021, Micromobility World is the first trade show dedicated to this area of technology. Micromobility Industries sponsored the event.
Disrupting the car is the focus here, so every aspect of the event is geared towards finding alternatives to car ownership and use.
In 2024, the event is being held virtually and features:
- New McKinsey research on bicycle-based urban micromobility.
- Microtransit route planning with Pointz, an app designed to ensure safety on bikes and scooters.
- Scooter accessories company Resilient Accessories looks back at the history of women and scooters.
- The Drivers' Choice Awards finals recognized companies in 12 categories.

Highlights from Micromobility World in 2023 include:
- Kara Swisher talks about a car-free future.
- A conversation with Gabe Klein about the formative role of small electric vehicles in the U.S. electric vehicle scene.
- Roetz Life shows off its round electric bike, "designed to ride forever".
- The inaugural Riders' Choice Awards also recognized companies in various categories such as Best Moped Company, Best Board Company, and Best Ride-Hailing and Car-Sharing Company.
Of course, there is a lot related to these topics as well. They do not exist in a vacuum. Anyone interested in sustainability, climate, pollution, economics and how humans can influence the future by forming new ideas around urban life should find something of interest here.
