High car prices have pushed people towards to the micromobility sector, where much smaller vehicles offer greater flexibility for a fraction of the cost.

    i stopped commuting to work in my car and switched to a motocompacto + public transit. Probably one of the best decisions ive made this year. while it was a little up front investment, i have since paid it off with no longer having to pay for downtown parking. im also a one car home and i would prefer my wife have some easy access to a vehicle should an emergency happen with me or my kiddo.

    love riding the moto every morning to the metro line, packing it up and out of the way of other commuters. anecdotally, it really does seem like more scooters and assisted bikes are on the road in my area. though that could just be due to the season.

    the change would not be ideal for many, but it fit my needs perfectly.
