The urban mobility industry, particularly the micro-mobility sector, faces several significant challenges that impact city living, the environment, and economic development. Some of these pressing issues include:

​​

1. Safety Concerns

Safety is a major concern in urban transportation. High accident rates involving cars, cyclists, and pedestrians highlight the need for safer transportation options.
 

2. Inclusivity and Personalization

There is an increasing demand for customizable mobility options that cater to a wide range of individual preferences and lifestyles. By offering personalized features mobility vehicles can better serve different demographics, including seniors, people with disabilities, and users from diverse cultural backgrounds. 

​

3. Supply Chain Issues

The micro-mobility industry often faces supply chain challenges that can delay production and increase costs. These issues include sourcing high-quality materials, managing logistics, and coping with global supply chain disruptions.
 

4. Environmental Impact

While electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly than traditional vehicles, their production and disposal still have an ecological footprint. The industry must focus on sustainable manufacturing practices, recycling programs, and reducing the overall environmental impact.
 

5. Affordability and Accessibility

High costs can be a barrier to entry for many potential micro-mobility users. Ensuring that vehicles are affordable and accessible to a broad range of people is crucial for widespread adoption.
 

6. Infrastructure Development

In many cities, the infrastructure to support micro-mobility use is underdeveloped. This includes the availability of bike lanes, secure parking, and charging stations. Urban planning and investment in infrastructure are essential to create an environment where urban mobility vehicles can thrive.
