FEATURED IN FORBES: SWAGTRON Talks Micro-Mobility, Access and Ownership

As light electric vehicles become more readily available and affordable, the need for car ownership in urban centers around the country declines and the conversation heats up around micro mobility. There are more options for personal transportation now than perhaps ever before, and electric scooters and e-bikes seem to be leading the charge—pun intended.

Suddenly the very thing that cities, roads, traffic systems and even shopping centers have been designed around for so long is going to shift radically. And with that, we hope to see changes to accommodate LEVs and other alternative transportation, much like bike lanes we see currently, but on a larger scale.

But those changes won’t happen overnight.”
