This reveals that small, lightweight, shared, and safe micro-mobility solutions are essential."

Seeking to contribute to the fight against climate change and the switch to electric transformation in transportation, Hop aims to facilitate urban transportation and improve the life quality in cities by making its sustainable and accessible scooters widespread.
