A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

### Shared micromobility in the face of COVID-19

The outlook for micromobility has changed. The pandemic shut down cities and changed how people choose to travel throughout the city. What does this mean for micromobility ridership?

INVERS and fluctuo analyzed data from kick scooter sharing and moped sharing operators in Germany, France, Spain, and Italy before, during and after the first COVID-19 peak in Europe.

The resulting white paper is a comparative analysis of a large booking data set to determine how trips per vehicle per day changed over this period and how micromobility in Europe was impacted by the first COVID-19 peak.

**Note: No INVERS customer data was used within this report. The data collected was solely provided by Fluctuo.**
