The end of the year is here and we thought it would be nice to look at how we predict the year 2022.
Many readers of this blog have probably noticed our excitement about the outlook of the electric scooter market. Throughout the year we have seen many exciting developments both in business and street-level – pun intended. Some interesting blogs we wrote about this year were about issues like:
From these headlines alone we can see how Electric Scooter news is all about how the markets are growing at an accelerating speed and cities are adopting the new demands from consumers.
The gist of the story is that people love electric scooters both shared and own for all kinds of uses, like students on campus, commuting to work and even Business uses at the airports and warehouses where they contribute to huge time savings, convenience, and health of the employees.
On some negative issues, we have seen cities starting escooter pilot programs, finding success or failure, pausing the programs, and restarting them again. From our view, these are growing pains that urban planning and lawmakers need to address as it is clear that the demand from citizens is there. In best cases, new laws like where you can use and park electric scooters are very successful and contribute to the convenience, safety, and aesthetic of the cities.
The same path is also global as the new micro-mobility solutions like electric scooters are already hugely popular all around the world, from bustling Asian cities to smaller suburban towns. Big cities see the benefit of bringing easy and eco-friendly transportation to customers which results in less congestion and cleaner air and environment.
Smaller suburban cities also see less traffic and as the range of electric scooters keeps on developing they are useful for even longer trips, which are already possible when combined with public transportation.
More and more cities are going to officially legalize and set up the rules for electric scooters. Dangerous behavior like driving under influence will be set, age limits for riders, and limits on where and when escooters are allowed to be used and parked.
This will result in benefitting development together with cities designating riding paths to electric scooters like previously have been made for the car, bike, and foot traffic. Such planning will make riding scooters safer and easier.
In fact, these kinds of results are common everywhere where electric scooters have become common or piloted. What has been quite surprising is how many pilot programs have been made to reach the same conclusion.
After all these pilots we expect that the market will reach a new level of maturity in 2022 at least when it comes to the rules. The amount of players is still open.
