Is it just me, or is the pace of micromobility change gathering serious momentum? Call it active travel, call it cycling as transport, or Walking, Wheeling, and Cycling. What used to be a very cycling industry conversation has expanded rapidly with the arrival of e-bikes, of shared mobility solutions providers, and makers of two and four-wheeled mobility solutions from outside the


traditional cycling industry. It’s with this in mind that we asked three distinctly different businesses their views on Micromobility in 2026. Our ‘in print’ panel discussion centres around three key questions - asked to Chris Yu from Also., the e-bike spin-off from EV maker Rivian, Fabio Marzola of Yamaha ebike systems, and Ertu Bilgin at Accell Group.’


We Asked… 1. How does the cycling industry see micromobility evolving in 2026? Chris Yu, President and Co-Founder, Also. “I think it’s helpful to take a step back


to look at the bigger picture. Over the next decade or so, as the world continues to densify and electrify, there will necessarily be a growing demand for smaller-than-car modes.


In fact, even today, the majority of personal and commercial trips globally (particularly with the exploding popularity of quick commerce) occur on vehicles that are

smaller than a car - they just happen to be almost all internal combustion variants still. I think there is no debate that in the coming decade, maybe two, these vehicles will fully electrify. So while there may be


variability in the market near term, we are extremely confident in the need for an expansive electric micromobility industry to support this inevitable transition in the long term.”
