> The benefits of micromobility
Micromobility is deeply embedded in our DNA. Although the term micromobility itself isn't yet in the dictionary, we define it as follows:
All light, healthy and sustainable means of transportation for daily travel in and around the city.
In other words, any mode of transport that moves slower than 45 km/h, whether powered by human effort or electricity, and is used for everyday commutes in urban areas. This can involve transporting yourself, your children, and your groceries, or for package couriers, technicians, and delivery drivers who need to move quickly from one client to another or deliver hot meals. It's also a lifestyle choice, opting for a healthier, more sustainable, and efficient alternative for urban travel.
Micromobility is also known as:
- • Micromobility
- • Light mobility
- • Ecomobility
- • Sustainable mobility
- • Zero-emission mobility
- • Urban mobility
- • Active mobility

Mobility as a Service (MaaS)
Providers are increasingly offering to manage your entire journey. Complete services, such as apps where you book all your transport modes for your trip. For example, NS now provides door-to-door travel advice rather than station-to-station, showing how many OV bikes are available or easily reserving your Blue bike at Belgian stations. Mobility hubs where you park your car and continue your journey on provided bikes, because driving into the city center is difficult. In other words, expanding inclusive solutions so everyone can use micromobility. For you as an individual, company, or employee.
