Introduction
Micromobility operators face a pivotal shift from scale-driven growth to efficiency-focused operations in 2024-2025. While annual ridership reached significant volumes across major markets, performance diverged sharply based on fleet utilization metrics. Leading cities demonstrated that strategic fleet optimization, rather than sheer vehicle count, drives sustainable outcomes, particularly when navigating seasonal volatility.
Washington DC reported 8.46M annual rides and Denver demonstrated fleet efficiency with 2.80 TVD avg. Melbourne's operational overhaul boosted Q1 2025 performance (0.47M) despite seasonal headwinds. These granular insights redefine 2025 priorities around fleet optimization and seasonal resilience.
