The micromobility market is experiencing unprecedented growth and innovation, driven by a surge in urban transportation needs and advancements in technology. As we move through 2024 and look towards 2025, the industry is set to redefine how we navigate our cities. Recent reports forecast that the global micromobility market will reach a staggering $80 billion by 2025, reflecting an annual growth rate of over 20%.
You might notice a growing number of sharing services in your neighborhood. For example, Warsaw hosts around 10,000 shared e-scooters and bikes. Berlin stands out with over 15,000 e-scooters and e-bikes available for sharing. Notably, cities like Paris lead in e-scooter density, with more than 50 e-scooters per 1,000 residents. Yet, as major cities start to ban or limit the number of scooters, micromobility is expanding into smaller towns where the focus on sustainability and short distances drives the need for such a simple way of getting around.
In this post, we’ll explore some of the most popular models on the flespi platform connected active.
Teltonika
The TFT100 is a GPS tracker designed for monitoring and managing e-forklifts, e-mopeds, and e-scooters. Its alternative, the TST100, is primarily aimed at shared mobility solutions like scooter-sharing, which limits its market use. While it’s more specialized and might come at a slightly higher cost due to its features, the TFT100 is known for its lower power consumption, making it easier to integrate into various e-scooter brands and models. The better price-to-feature ratio of the TFT100 likely gives it an edge in connections over the TST100 in our rating.
Okai
You might have noticed a slight change in indexes. The Okai ES400 is a flagship model widely recognized for its durability and reliability in the shared micromobility sector. With its robust design, 10-inch tires, and long-lasting battery, it’s a go-to choice for fleet operators in dense urban environments.
The ES400A takes this core design and adds a few enhancements like a swappable battery, improved shock absorption, and an upgraded braking system, making it better suited for cities with rougher terrain or more demanding riders.
The ES400B, while still similar in design, is geared more toward cost efficiency with slightly fewer premium features but an external battery to swap, and a reduced overall price, making it attractive for companies focused on maximizing ROI. All three models maintain Okai’s signature build quality and adaptability, ensuring they remain competitive in different segments of the micromobility market but the stats show ES400A is leading in numbers.
