Short-distance commuting

Micromobility can be cheaper than driving when parking, fuel, and mileage costs are included. Shared scooter costs depend heavily on ride time and per-minute pricing.

Owned bikes and scooters shift the cost into maintenance, accessories, battery care, and depreciation. Use a realistic monthly ownership estimate when comparing options.
