Surge pricing was a success for Uber. Waiting times for a bike service in Oslo at the moment is in the range from 2 weeks to 2 months. Why aren't local bike shops using surge pricing for services and repairs? Or raise their prices? I have talked to several bike shops about fast track or VIP services. But no one provides it as an option. Some weak arguments from the bike shops. - Everyone wants it and we can't keep up with demand. - It will be unfair to customers who can't afford. "Unfair". Really. It's being done by airlines and hotels. It's not unfair. It's called supply and demand. Can someone please figure out how to help these bike shops? They need some sort of system to cater for customers who wants to pay a lot for fast services. #Innovation #Sustainability #Biking

Bolt is one of the first global operators in the micromobility industry to roll out distance-based pricing to encourage safer scooter riding habits The current industry standard to charge based on a per-minute pricing model can incentivise riders to reach their destinations as quickly as possible, potentially leading to speeding and other risky behaviours like running traffic lights Bolt’s VP of Rentals Dmitri Pivovarov told Zag: “It is very logical that taking away the incentive to make trips as fast as possible translates into enhanced safety. However, so far, we have lacked tangible proof of the solution’s impact. Bolt is the first operator to offer distance-based pricing, and soon, we’ll be able to share tangible information about it.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/emQVzY8u

How to choose the right scooter for you When choosing a scooter, there are a few things you need to consider: Your needs: What will you be using the scooter for? If you're just commuting to work, you'll need a different type of scooter than if you're planning on taking it on long road trips. Your budget: Scooters can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Set a budget before you start shopping so you don't overspend. Your riding style: If you're a casual rider, you'll need a different type of scooter than if you're a more experienced rider who likes to go fast. Once you've considered these factors, you can start shopping for the perfect scooter for you. Tags: #scooter #scootermotorcycle #howtochoosetherightscooter #yourneeds #yourbudget #yourridingstyle

The whole market waited curiously to see what would change for operators and customers after the kickscooter ban in Paris was put in place in September 2023. After all, Paris used to be one of the capitals for kickscooters in Europe, with ridership growing year by year. Interestingly enough, it turns out that the ban of scooters happened to be the rise of free-floating bikes. According to the recently published European Shared Mobility Index Q3/23 by Fluctuo, the free-floating bike ridership in September 2023 was 2.5 times higher than in September 2022, when scooters were still allowed. The number of free-floating bikes however increased only by a factor of 1.5, indicating a positive trend in the vehicles’ utilization. That’s good news for operators in Paris who managed to compensate for the elimination of kickscooters with free-floating bikes - and it’s also sending a positive sign to other cities where operators and customers are concerned about the future developments of shared micro mobility. #paris #scooterban #kickscooters #sharedmobility #micromobility #mobilitymarket

Starrun R20 review: Is this sub-$1,000 full-suspension fat tire e-bike worth it? I’ve always found the sub-$1k e-bike segment fascinating. The bikes aren’t always the best, but the good ones are usually good enough for most casual and/or recreational riders. And this is the group of e-bikes with the biggest potential for winning over new riders who haven’t fully committed to the idea of a pricier e-bike https://lnkd.in/gqsAatAp

Scooter ridership is down 10% That's the big story in Fluctuo's latest index. So here's why: 💡 Tenders are restricting the number of vehicles in the cities with the most ridership (e.g. Rome 🇮🇹 - featured on p.14) 🦷 There was a teething period in cities like Madrid 🇪🇸 as the new tender came into effect and operators left / new ones joined 🚲 Dockless bikes! 30,000+ have been deployed in the 33 cities monitored over the past year. Despite having a long way to go to match scooter ridership, dockless bike trips are up 24% on last year. Full report in comments 👇
