Seattle's micromobility usage surged with over 10.5 million rides in 2025, accompanied by rising serious injuries and deaths. The city conducts a survey to understand rider behaviours and issues like helmet non-use, parking, and infrastructure safety as they adapt to increased demand and costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

You face rising safety risks and regulatory scrutiny due to soaring injuries from scooters and e-bikes in Seattle. Shift your product focus this week to non-helmet safety features and adaptable last-mile solutions as the city reassesses micromobility rules.
