What You Need to Know Today
Brussels in Motion: Keynote from Elke Van den Brandt
In this keynote from Micromobility Europe 2025, Elke Van den Brandt, Minister of Mobility for the Brussels-Capital Region, shares a powerful vision for the future of urban mobility, public space, and micromobility in European cities.
Opening with a welcoming message to Brussels, Minister Van den Brandt reframes the city as a shared home for everyone. A place for children to play, people to meet, and communities to thrive, not just a corridor for moving cars. She explains how micromobility is a crucial tool in that transformation, helping reduce pollution, congestion, noise, and infrastructure costs, while offering citizens and visitors a healthier and more flexible way to move through the city.
BMW Licenses Micromobility Designs to Luyuan
BMW Group has granted LUYUAN Group licenses for two urban micromobility concepts: Dynamic Cargo, a modular three-wheel e-cargo bike, and Clever Commute, a compact foldable e-kickscooter designed for last-mile travel. LUYUAN will develop and commercialize these designs globally under its own brands, expanding its light-mobility offerings across urban markets.
Highlighting the purpose behind the deal, Dr. Jochen Karg of BMW stated: “We aim to contribute to city-friendly transport systems by enhancing the interconnectedness of urban mobility and promoting micromobility solutions for the last mile.”
New Jersey May Reclassify E-Bikes
In the US, New Jersey Senate President Nicholas Scutari has proposed eliminating the “low-speed e-bike” category, meaning most e-bikes would be reclassified as motorized bicycles. The bill would require riders to have a license, insurance, and registration, even for low-powered models. If passed, using a basic e-bike could become more costly and complicated across the state.
Ride Review: Yozma IN 10
The Yozma IN 10 electric dirt bike delivers a surprisingly robust mix of power, range, and off-road capability in a compact, reasonably priced package: a 2600 W mid-drive motor, up to 40 mph top speed, and a claimed 35–53 mile range per charge. Its hydraulic suspension, fat tires, and disc brakes aim for ride comfort and control on rough terrain. It is designed for teens and adults (roughly 120–175 cm in height), offering a middle-ground between an entry-level e-bike and a full-size dirt bike.
London Cycling Reaches 1.5M Daily Trips
Cycling in London has surged to 1.5m daily rides in 2025, up from 1.33m in 2024. This reflects a 43% increase in cycling trips since 2019. About one in ten of those rides was on a dockless e-bike, underlining the growing role of e-mobility. The rise is strongest in inner and central London, helped by growing awareness of cycling’s convenience.

Rad Power’s Battery Fire Warning Could Influence the Entire Micromobility Sector
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning against certain Rad Power e-bike batteries linked to at least 31 fires, urging owners to stop using them due to risks of ignition even when not charging. Rad Power disputes the warning, saying its products meet international standards, but regulators argue even small failure rates can be dangerous as micromobility grows. The incident could push the entire industry toward stricter battery regulations and safety certifications, raising expectations for manufacturers and consumers alike.
- In Australia, Gold Coast Police are cracking down on unsafe and illegal e-mobility use through stricter enforcement.
- Australia may soon introduce national e-bike standards that could ban the sale of high-powered models over 25km/h, aiming to close import loopholes.
- In the US state of Illinois, Woodridge Park District now allows Class 1–2 e-bikes and limited e-scooters on paved paths, while restricting Class 3 bikes and high-powered devices.
- Dartmouth officials are urging greater public awareness and clearer rules for e-bikes, mopeds, and scooters as their use grows and safety concerns increase.
- In the US state of North Carolina, Pender County Parks and Recreation has banned e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-skateboards from all county-owned and maintained parks.
In Ontario, Council Votes to Keep E-Scooters Road-Legal
In Ontario, the London city council, in an 8-7 vote, has rejected a proposed ban and voted to allow e-scooters and cargo e-bikes to remain legal on public roads, rejecting restrictions. The decision preserves access for riders of micromobility devices while authorities instead emphasise proper regulation and safety. The e-scooter program was piloted in 2023 in the city.
CaBi Washington Ridership Drops in October
In the Greater Washington region, the Capital Bikeshare (CaBi) system saw a significant drop in October 2025, with trips falling 13.9% compared to October 2024, marking the second straight month of year-over-year decline. Despite the monthly slump, CaBi’s total ridership for 2025 rose 14.4%, reaching about 5.9m trips through October. Even with falling usage in recent months, the overall annual growth shows demand for bikesharing remains strong in the region, though short-term factors like a government shutdown and fare hikes likely affected ridership.
Bicester to Explore Shared E-Scooter Network
Bicester is considering a shared network of e-scooters and e-bikes as part of its “Movement & Place” transport plan aimed at reducing car dependence and improving connectivity in the town. The proposal will undergo consultation and feasibility studies, with the goal of creating affordable, low-emission travel options for short trips made by residents and visitors.
German Moped Manufacturer Govecs Files for Insolvency
Govecs AG, a Munich-based electric two-wheeler manufacturer, has enteredprovisional insolvency proceedings as of November 24, 2025. The court has appointed a provisional insolvency administrator to oversee the company’s finances. Govecs’ management now needs his approval for any spending or major decisions. High production costs, competition from cheaper alternatives, and shrinking demand made it hard for Govecs to survive.
New Jersey Town Ramsey Restricts Micromobility Use
The town of Ramsey, New Jersey, has passed a new ordinance banning e-bikes and e-scooters from Main Street, sidewalks, and all town parks. The change responds to the growing popularity of e-mobility and increasing accidents involving riders violating traffic laws. Under the ban, riders under 17 must wear helmets, and parents may face fines up to $1,000 if their child breaks the rules. The new law aims to improve public safety in shared pedestrian spaces while regulating e-mobility more strictly.
