Uncovering Micromobility Patterns in Non-Urban Landscapes: Insights from the MORE Sharing System

Micromobility choices are emerging as prominent options in transportation, but limited research has been conducted on their use in non-urban settings within a unified shared mobility system. This study seeks to address this gap, using real-world data from the MORE Sharing system in a non-urban setting between March and August 2023. Key findings show that e-scooters and e-bikes were the most popular, often used in conjunction with public transport, highlighting their role in addressing the last-mile commute challenge. While e-scooters became popular in spring, e-mopeds saw increased use in summer. Usage trends varied through the week, with some vehicles, particularly e-mopeds and e-cargo bikes, seeing heightened demand on weekends. E-cargo bikes and e-mopeds primarily replaced cars. User satisfaction was generally high across the board. These findings can inform mobility planning, transportation policy, and stakeholder decisions, emphasizing shared transport's growing role in urban and suburban contexts.
