The UK transport minister has revealed plans to bring forward the trial of e-scooters on public roads to the beginning of June 2020. As people remain wary of crowded public transport, the move comes amid calls for a greater availability of sustainable and socially distant ways to get around.

A reduction in everyday travel due to COVID-19 has resulted in a notable drop in carbon emissions, and it’s making people rethink how they get around. In Milan, plans are in place to expand walkways and create bike lanes to reduce pollution and car use, setting an example for other cities to follow.

As COVID-19 forces the closure of car dealerships and potential buyers spend more of their time online, the auto industry is recognising a need to modernise. But are people ready to purchase vehicles as they would clothes or books? And how can car brands deliver high-quality service digitally?

Families, small businesses, and individuals who need to transport heavy loads are broadly neglected by existing micro-mobility solutions. By enabling rental by the hour, Cargoroo allows them to enjoy the benefits of e-cargo bike travel, which include carbon efficiency, exercise, and convenience.
