At Micromobility Europe 2025 in Brussels, TechCrunch senior reporter Rebecca Bellan sits down with three of the industry’s most influential CEOs to unpack where shared e-scooters and e-bikes are heading next.

Panel:

- Michael Wahinushi - Co-CEO, Bird/Spin

- Fredrik Hjelm - Co-Founder & CEO, Voi

- Henri Moissinac - Co-Founder & CEO, Tier-Dott

They unpack the current state and future of micromobility, with sharp insights into:

- M&A: Who is acquiring Bolt's Micromobility Business?

- Why AI is transforming fleet operations and user experience

- Commuter adoption trends in North America and Europe

- The real safety issues cities must solve (hint: it's not scooters)

- Why short-term RFPs hurt long-term investment

- The future of hardware, form factors, and consolidation

A deep, no-spin conversation about what it really takes to build sustainable micromobility at scale.
