If you’ve ridden a Superpedestrian e-scooter this year in Nottingham and rode on the sidewalk (or “pavement” as they’re called in the UK), you may have received a message reminding you to ride on the road. That’s because since November of 2022, we’ve been collecting data from sensors onboard the vehicles that know whether you’re riding on the road or on sidewalks. Then, we’re contacting sidewalk riders to let them know that they should be riding in the street. Pavement riding is not allowed in the UK e-scooter trials, and Superpedestrian and Nottingham City Council have been working together t ..read more

Eugene, for those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of visiting, is a medium-sized city in Oregon, and home of the University of Oregon. In addition to the campus, Eugene has several bungalow-filled neighborhoods, a gorgeous riverfront trail, a deep running track record, and a delightfully weird attitude. Eugene ..read more

Sustainability starts with design We built our Superpedestrian e-scooters from the ground up, and in a time when shared scooters lasted barely a month, we were engineering ours to last six years. We still have the longest scooter lifespan in the industry, with our earliest scooters still going strong. By investing up front in good design and rugged materials, we reduce the materials needed for manufacturing, are able to ensure our vehicles are built with 100% recyclable materials, and reduce the need for transporting new vehicles, the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the indu ..read more

Superpedestrian joined Dott, Lime, Tier, and Voi in an indiustry-first, issuing recommendations to European cities with the aim of helping cities establish strong e-scooter and e-bike programs that serve city residents and meet city goals.
