Lyft Urban Solutions (LUS) is joining Micromobility Europe 2026 as an official partner, bringing its global expertise in bikeshare infrastructure and operations to one of the industry's most important annual forums. The event takes place on June 2-3 in Berlin, Germany.

LUS is a global bikeshare system provider, delivering the technology and infrastructure that powers programs in more than 55 cities across 14 countries, including Santander Cycles in London, Bicing in Barcelona, and BIXI in Montréal. In North America, LUS also directly operates some of the continent's largest station-based programs, including Citi Bike in New York City.

Caroline Samponaro, VP and Head of External Affairs at Lyft Urban Solutions, on what this partnership means:
"Innovation starts with strong collaboration. At Lyft Urban Solutions, we work closely with city partners and operators to understand each city's unique needs, and design solutions that are adapted to local realities. We're excited to bring that perspective to Micromobility Europe this year, and to connect with the cities and operators who are actively shaping what shared mobility looks like next."

A meaningful moment for shared mobility in Europe

The partnership comes at a pivotal moment for shared micromobility in Europe. For cities and operators alike, the question is no longer whether to embrace shared micromobility, but how to ensure it reaches further, works more seamlessly, and becomes as indispensable as the transit lines it complements. The signals that point toward that opportunity are already consistent and hard to ignore.

Station-based bikeshare programs account for 35% of all shared micromobility trips in Europe despite representing just 27% of the total fleet. Bikeshare users consistently combine their trips with public transport, making it one of the most transit-integrated modes on the street. And electrification is reshaping who rides and how far, with e-bike demand consistently outrunning supply in every market where it has taken hold. These trends point to a clear opportunity: the systems that will define the next decade of urban mobility are being designed right now.

Lyft Urban Solutions has spent more than 15 years working alongside cities and operators to meet that challenge, building programs that reach further, integrate more seamlessly into existing transit networks, and attract riders who had never considered bikeshare before.

At Micromobility Europe 2026, the Lyft Urban Solutions team will be on the ground across both days, speaking on panels, exhibiting its latest hardware, and meeting with cities, operators, and partners looking to shape what comes next in shared mobility.

Prabin Joel Jones, CEO of Micromobility Industries:
“Lyft Urban Solutions is one of the world’s leading bikeshare operators, with standout programs like Divvy in Chicago. We’re thrilled to welcome them to Micromobility Europe 2026 in Berlin. I’m looking forward to the vehicles and conversations LUS will bring to the event.”

See you in Berlin!
