Global micromobility and micro-car market expansion

Overview

The micromobility and micro-car markets are expanding globally, driven by a demand for affordable, short-range urban and residential transportation.

In the United States, the market for golf-cart-type vehicles is projected to reach $5 billion by 2026. This growth is supported by the formal recognition of low-speed vehicles (LSVs) by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a surge in e-bike imports. New micro-EV models are entering the U.S. market as practical alternatives for short-distance trips.

Simultaneously, the European market is seeing a variety of electric and diesel quadricycle options. Key models include the Citroën Ami, the retro-styled Fiat Topolino, and the Microlino. Manufacturers such as Aixam and the Chinese-made Linktour are also contributing to the segment with diverse electric and diesel offerings aimed at urban mobility.
