Electric micromobility expansion in Chile

Overview

Electric micromobility services in Chile have demonstrated significant growth and integration into urban transport patterns.

Initially, the company JET reported reaching approximately 1.5 million trips across the Metropolitan Region and Temuco, claiming these services replaced over 370,000 car journeys and prevented more than 85 tons of CO2 emissions. The company operates electric scooters with a maximum speed of 20 km/h and mandatory GPS monitoring.

Subsequent data from the operator Whoosh in the Valparaíso Region highlighted specific usage patterns in Viña del Mar and Limache. In Viña del Mar, trips are concentrated along major routes such as Avenida Perú, San Martín, and Jorge Montt. In Limache, riders appear to use scooters as a complementary mode of transport to reach the local train station for the Regional Metro of Valparaíso (Merval), with an average trip duration of 11 minutes.
