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:
- The shift from hype to profitability and disciplined growth
- 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)
- How infrastructure and policy decisions shape adoption
- 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.
