The Micromobility System (1MMS) market, a level 1 roadmap, represents a segment of the broader urban mobility market. Level 2 roadmaps focus on specific micromobility solutions (e.g., shared electric scooters, e-bikes), level 3 roadmaps target the subsystems within these solutions (e.g., powertrain, connectivity, structural), and level 4 roadmaps delve into individual components (e.g., battery cells, sensors, motors).

Technology Roadmap Overview

Micromobility refers to a range of small, lightweight vehicles operating at speeds typically below 25 km/h (15 mph) and driven by users personally. These include bicycles, e-bikes, electric scooters, electric skateboards, shared bicycles, and electric pedal-assisted bicycles. Micromobility represents a significant shift in urban transportation, offering flexible, sustainable solutions for short-distance travel that are ideal for city settings. Originating in the 19th century, micromobility has advanced into electric folding bikes and motorized vehicles. Today, micromobility solutions focus on shared, electric, and connected vehicles integrated into an urban network. Micromobility is interfacing with user data and contextual information more efficiently and seamlessly and is gaining traction in autonomous personal mobility. It is also venturing into other modes other than land mobility, such as air and water transportation. Micromobiliity is poised to play an increasingly important role in the future of urban mobility and smart cities. It is core to city planning, from historic city centers to today’s most transformative giga-projects.

Roadmap Model using OPM

Below, we provide an object-process diagram (OPD) of the 1MMS roadmap. This diagram captures the main object of the roadmap, its decomposition into subsystems (powertrain, connectivity, structural...), its characterization by Figures of Merit (FOMs), as well as the main processes and actors involved.
