Interesting article about the popularity of shared e-scooters and e-bikes in Brisbane.

A recent study found that 80% of visitors said e-scooters enhanced their experience of the city and increased the number of places they were able to see and experience.

Unsurprisingly, Brisbane’s robust cycling infrastructure was cited as a factor. Build the infrastructure and the riders will come! 🛴⚡🚲

Love this story about Baala Manikandan, who rode his electric motorcycle 6,727 kilometers across India traversing uneven terrain in all types of weather (with temperatures ranging from 45º to -15º Celsius) – in just 22 days!

The best part? Manikandan says he spent less than $5 USD to charge the bike during the entire trip.

Interesting conversation about L4 autonomous vehicles (which can only drive in specific areas which they are programmed for) and the recent developments in SF from James Gross with Edward Niedermeyer

@eniatitova i feel like at some point #fedex decided to concentrate on business delivery and #ups more on home delivery but they can't completely ignore the other and your situation is a small enough inefficiency at their scale that they don't mind eating the cost ...particularly, since they practically operate in a #duopoly ...like how smaller competitors exist in the tech space but #Google or #Microsoft operate at such a scale, they literally lock out any competition in their niches ...to be optimistic, i'll be *very* surprised if there aren't several disruptive last-mile competitors that pop up in the near future that make home delivery their priority #recession ...then it'll all be #smooth ....get ready for #teens on #micromobility vehicles chasing you down based on your phone's location to give you a box you can wear like a backpack #thefuture

Bike share as city service?

@ChrisMcCahill We can Change The World just by expanding protected-and-connected bike paths to accommodate more #MicroMobility and #MiniMobility. I'll check it out, thanks!

After 2 weeks on our cross-continental tour, SARIT is back in the #toronto area. We are now ready to support staff at the @NBOtoronto during the @tenniscanada open at @YorkUniversity. #micromobility #SARITSelfies

E-scooters are back in Quebec (Laval). I was interviewed about their return. #micromobility

Had a great time with friends participating in our community's first ever Slow Food Cycle event! We visited local farms and bought veggies and fruit, freshly baked bread, gourmet mushrooms, and fancy cheese, had a picnic at a one of our neighbourhood cideries, and finished the day by meeting more friends at the local beer farm. Organizers expected 70 participants and almost 400 signed up. 💪 🚲⚡ ✌️

Mid day energy boost at Café Hagen. I highly recommend the københavn latte if you are in South Lake Union #seattle.

It's a little far to walk so I took my #escooter. Used less than 100Wh to go 3 miles. That's over 30 miles per kWh! Yay #micromobility

#introduction

Hi everyone, my name is Michael (he/him). I live in #seattle with my dog Echo.

Currently taking some time off from my job in #softwaredevelopment. I'm #lookingforwork and learning as much as I can including running my own #mastodon server for practice with server administration.

I am spending a lot of my time learning #cooking. Trying to better my techniques and learn new recipes.

Some other topics I am interested in are #ev cars and #micromobility, #videogames, and #gadgets.

#micromobility for all!

You’ve got a better chance getting a ticket for running a red light on a bike than in a car in the #UpperWestSide of #Manhattan (e.g., streetsblog story)… sure there are less of you, and Newton-knows you’re less likely to KILL someone, but NYPD sure can catch-ya.

Wow, Finmile seems like a really interesting cargo bike delivery service! https://finmile.co/

Look at those bikes!

Very interesting interview with the founder here, who seems to be genuine in working to take cars off the road, and create good jobs. All the workers gets shares in the company. So a semi #cooperative, perhaps?

Wow! Looks like Colorado's ebike rebate program has been so successful that as of next year, they are foregoing limits on the number of vouchers they'll be giving out. That means everyone who applied will get $450 off the purchase of their next ebike.

Viva la micromobility revolution!

Dear Friends, For those of you interested in #MicroMobility #EBikes, etc. you may be interested in my #SocialMedia report on the #online discussion around #lithium #battery fires that have tragically claimed several lives over the past few years. Competing interests in #EMobility, #StreetSafety neighborhood character and #WorkersRights inhabit the discussion. There is more on certifications and more. To you, for what it's worth, from my social media insights business.
