NUMO New Mobility Atlas Update — February 22, 2021
Time for a refresh. We’ve updated the NUMO New Mobility Atlas to reflect changes to the dockless shared mobility landscape in cities around the world.

- 1,172 total dockless operators* 🚲🛵🛴
- 684 electric scooter operators 🛴

- 119 moped operators 🛵
Here's what's new...

- 79 cities no longer have any dockless micromobility
- 297 more operations since the Atlas’ last update
- 523 new operations total
- 222 operations ceased to exist
And here are some highlighted insights...
