It will be increasingly difficult to circulate through cities with combustion vehicles after the constant restrictions of low-emission zones in which there are more than 50,000 inhabitants; However, micromobility is a constantly growing segment perfect to overcome them. And Spain already leads micromobility in Europe. This is revealed by the study carried out by Tier Mobility: 30% of Spaniards use very light vehicles for urban travel. In addition, administrations and international organizations are betting on sustainable mobility to reduce the carbon footprint, thus promoting two-wheeled transportation.
But it is not for less. For example, Trek, a world leader in the design and manufacture of bicycles and cycling products, has published this year in its second Sustainability Report the Rule of 692 based on a formula that shows that if instead of traveling 692 kilometers by car, If you do it by bicycle, you compensate for the carbon equivalent that it cost to manufacture the bicycle.
This is a means of transport that, according to the latest Bicycle Sector Report presented by the Association of Brands and Bicycles of Spain (AMBE), accumulates good sales performance in the categories of bicycles for urban travel (22.5 % more units) and electric bicycles (5.7% more).
The average price of an electric bicycle is 2,900 euros PF
The latter, thanks to their pedaling assistance, provide a solution for traveling long distances, climbing hills, or moving faster. You can leave the traffic jams of big cities aside and park more easily, this being a determining factor when choosing this alternative over others.
The price range is wide, from 90 to 150 euros, depending on speed, power, folding, design… PF
Although these advantages are also offered by electric scooters, even with the added ease of folding and transporting them. It is an alternative that has emerged relatively recently, but has quickly emerged as another means of transportation in cities motivated by its price and weight – usually between 10 and 15 kilos.
The economic value of the motorcycles is on average 5,601 euros PF
Another alternative means of transportation is electric motorcycles or mopeds. An agile and fast way of moving around the city, especially when the trips are longer.
They offer good repris and reach high speeds, which allows you to reach your destination sooner. Very interesting in this case is that it allows you to equip a leg cover blanket for cold and rainy seasons.
