In this episode, we refine the micromobility categorisation and unpack whyurban infrastructure is a leading indicator to adoption. We run through:Why the development of batteries and small electric motors underpinned thedevelopment of micromobility, the importance of off-the-shelf componentryin providing the basis for innovation and why electric will be the dominantpowertrain for the coming 10 years.The history of fuel infrastructure in the US, how hard this is toreplicate, and why micromobility provides an opportunity to leapfrog this.The history of transit, roading and tramways in major cities globally, andhow they provided the conditions for the development of the car.The significance of the standard bike as we know it today, and the impactthat it had on society.The emergence of cars in cities, the safety battles fought, and thedevelopment of signals, licensing and traffic segmentation, and theimplications on that for alternative vehicle types.How the emergence of micro mobility will terraform our cities in the sameway that the car did.
