The growing demand for electric scooters in cities has surged in recent years, especially as a practical solution for short-distance travel.
These scooters offer an efficient way to tackle the "last-mile" problem, providing quick and accessible transport options for many. With lithium batteries powering them, electric scooters also support the global movement toward environmentally friendly, low-emission transportation, aligning with the push for sustainable practices that benefit both commuters and the planet.
Electric scooters have seen a surge in popularity, especially in Europe and North America, where skateboarding culture is already well-established.
The rise of shared electric scooter programs has further accelerated their adoption and visibility. Projections from BCG suggest that by 2025, the global shared scooter market could be worth between $40 and $50 billion, with continued growth expected worldwide. This version removes any connection to the original phrasing while keeping the meaning intact.Advancements in AI Fuel Growth of Smart Electric Scooters
In recent years, smart electric scooters have gained momentum, largely due to progress in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. These advanced scooters incorporate a range of intelligent systems, including computing, automation, microelectronics, network information processing, GPS, and user interaction technologies. Leading manufacturers and operators, such as Ninebot, Bird, Voi, and Spin, have integrated features like augmented reality (AR), AI, fisheye cameras, dashcams, smart parking monitoring, precise positioning, and even autonomous driving. These innovations aim to manage user parking, detect risky behaviors, and facilitate intelligent dispatching, among other functions.
