Micromobility Worldwide

This past Tuesday, we celebrated World Bicycle Day, and with summer holidays approaching, people are once again taking off across the globe. No matter where you go, one thing you’re bound to encounter is micromobility. Bicycles, e-scooters, and other compact modes of transport are universal, but how people use and adapt them varies greatly by culture. From the compact mamacharis in Japan to the spacious cargo bikes in Denmark, every country puts its own spin on micromobility—often enhanced with smart bicycle accessories. Japan: The Quiet Efficiency of the Mamachari In Japan, you see them everywhere: simple, practical city bikes with a wicker basket in front, a child on the back, and often a small bag dangling from the handlebars. The mamachari is the go-to mode of daily transport. Not a luxurious e-bike, but a compact bicycle that gets the job done. What stands out are the small tweaks and bicycle accessories that make life just a bit easier: a foldable footrest for children, rain covers over the seat, wind flaps on the handlebars. Everything is compact, lightweight, and efficiency-focused—true hallmarks of Japanese micromobility. Italy: Elegance on Two Wheels Whether you’re in Rome or Milan, bicycles—and especially e-scooters—are an extension of personal style. Not crowded bike lanes, but winding streets where fashion meets motion. The Italian rider loves smart, sleek bicycle accessories: a slim helmet in a pastel shade, a roomy backpack, a compact phone holder on the handlebars. Everything is designed for both convenience and appearance. Here, micromobility is not just functional—it’s a fashion statement. Mexico City: Biking as a Connecting Mode In the bustling streets of Mexico City, public bike-share systems like Ecobici play a crucial role in micromobility. People use bicycles not only as a primary means of transport but also as a smart link between metro, bus, or workplace. Common sights include compact backpacks and lightweight helmets—essential gear in a city where you’re constantly switching between transport modes. Denmark: The Cargo Bike as a Daily Companion In Denmark, cycling has been woven into everyday life for decades, and especially the cargo bike has become an icon of micromobility. From big cities to small towns, you see them carrying children, groceries, pets, or picnic baskets—often all at once. What makes these bikes so successful isn’t just the bike itself, but the smart accessories that surround them. Waterproof panniers, extra-comfort saddles, and reflective rainwear make cargo bikes fit for every season and purpose. Smart bicycle accessories: Essential Worldwide Wherever your summer travels take you, one thing stands out everywhere: people personalize their bike or scooter with clever additions. Bicycle accessories that make the difference between awkward and smooth, wet and dry, unsafe and prepared. The bicycle is no longer just a basic mode of transport—it’s become a complete package. More and more people are investing not just in a good bike, but in the right solutions to match: from child seats and bags to lights, rain capes, phone mounts, and locks. Micromobility is growing, and with it, the need for comfort, safety, and flexibility. At PENDLR, we understand that. With more than 23,000 products from 160 brands, we offer the right accessories for every form of micromobility, wherever it may be. Want to Help Others Get Moving Too?

Maximum Speed Day: What do different speeds mean for micromobility

Today is Maximum Speed Day! While you might initially think of car traffic, speed is also playing an increasingly important role in micromobility. With the rise and growing popularity of new forms of micromobility, different types of vehicles—each with varying speeds—are increasingly sharing the same roads and bike lanes. Additionally, cities continue to grapple with a complex mix of motorized traffic and micromobility. So how do we ensure that all these modes of transport can coexist safely and efficiently? Micromobility: Faster Through Smart Infrastructure Cities like Amsterdam have taken steps to improve traffic flow for cyclists. One example is the ‘knip’ in Weesperstraat, where the street was temporarily closed to through car traffic. This measure resulted in an 18% reduction in car traffic and improved the area's livability and air quality. Such initiatives help reduce congestion and allow cyclists to reach their destinations more quickly. Read more on indebuurt.nl Challenges of Varying Speeds on the Bike Path With the rise of e-bikes and speed pedelecs, new dynamics are emerging on bike paths, particularly regarding speed differences. While a regular cyclist rides at an average speed of 15 to 20 km/h, e-bikes easily reach 25 km/h, and speed pedelecs can go up to 45 km/h. These differences can create tensions and unsafe situations on busy bike lanes. In Amsterdam, a pilot program is underway where faster cyclists, such as speed pedelecs and high-speed e-bikes, are redirected to the roadway instead of the bike path. Early results show that many cyclists view this change positively: bike paths feel safer and more comfortable, while fast-moving cyclists benefit from better flow on the road. Read more on amsterdam.nl Belgium is also working on solutions. Special traffic signs have been introduced to indicate whether speed pedelecs are allowed on bike paths or must use the road. This clear regulation helps cyclists understand where they belong, reducing confusion and improving safety. Read more on wegenenverkeer.be Micromobility as the Key to Accessible Cities While speed is an important factor in mobility, the real focus should be on efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Micromobility—including bikes, e-bikes, speed pedelecs, and shared scooters—offers solutions that not only reduce travel time by avoiding congestion but also contribute to a healthier and cleaner urban environment. By investing in infrastructure improvements, such as wider bike lanes, smart traffic lights, and low-traffic zones, cities can make micromobility safer and more attractive. At the same time, clear regulations are essential to managing speed differences on roads and bike paths. Initiatives such as speed zones, dedicated signs for speed pedelecs, and pilot projects that relocate faster cyclists to roadways demonstrate how cities are adapting. Stay Ahead of the Future of Mobility with PENDLR The way we move is changing rapidly. Whether it’s the role of speed in micromobility, smart infrastructure, or the latest innovations in bike parts and accessories—PENDLR keeps a close eye on these developments. Would you like to gain more insight into how micromobility is shaping urban transport? Or are you looking for high-quality bike parts and accessories to provide the best service to your customers?
