Norwegian shared-mobility operator Ryde is expanding its e-bike service to 3 new cities in Germany and Sweden, with 5 more in Sweden and Norway expected to follow within weeks. Operating across more than 80 cities with a fleet of over 120k vehicles, Ryde lets riders use the same app, account, pricing and passes for both e-bikes and e-scooters. The company has operated e-bikes since 2023 and expects to eventually order as many e-bikes as e-scooters, broadening its reach beyond short urban trips. Manufacturing Partners Is Building the Missing Service Layer for Micromobility
Poland-based Manufacturing Partners is extending its manufacturing expertise into micromobility fleet support, offering on-demand technical teams for vehicle deployment, repairs and refurbishment across Europe. Its services include fault diagnosis, electronics and mechanical repairs, final assembly and quality testing, helping operators handle seasonal demand and large maintenance campaigns without building permanent in-house capacity. The company also works on battery assembly and second-life applications, supporting efforts to extend vehicle lifespans and reduce replacement costs. From the LinkedIn Feed:Marvin Pearson II, Co-Founder and COO of M2 Mobility
Marvin makes the case that local shops and services belong in the transportation conversation. He points to a Journal of Marketing Research study across 98 U.S. cities that found shared e-scooters raised restaurant spending among scooter users by about 5.2%. His practical questions for cities and operators are where people are trying to go, where they can safely end a ride without blocking a sidewalk or storefront, and how easier access can help a local business fit into someone’s day. His closing point is that making a trip easier should also mean being a good neighbor when it ends. Read the full post
Nextbike Pilots Swappable-Battery E-Bikes in Potsdam
Nextbike has launched a six-month real-world pilot of its new-generation e-bikes in Potsdam, Germany, as part of the PotsdamRad bikeshare system. The swappable-battery e-bikes complement the existing pedal-bike fleet and can use the same docking stations. The trial comes as PotsdamRad recorded a 25.2% increase in usage from January to September 2026 compared with the same period last year, with user feedback set to inform further development of the bikes. London Pilots AI System to Detect Battery Fire RisksThe European Urban Battery Safety Intelligence (EUBSI) project has launched a London pilot to test whether battery, charging and operational data can identify developing battery risks before they lead to fires. Led by Norwegian battery-safety company EPTTAS, the initiative will work with Transport for London to assess data from existing bus telematics and fleet-management systems. In parallel, micromobility operator Ryde will connect 25k e-scooters across Gothenburg, Berlin, Helsinki and Oslo to the project, while EPTTAS is pursuing a separate partnership with Voi, which is not participating in EUBSI. Findings from the pilots will inform practical battery-safety guidance for transport operators and cities across Europe.

Electric Skateboards Are Carving Out A Niche
Ride Review highlights electric skateboards as a portable alternative for short urban trips, with five affordable models priced from $190 to $479. The roundup includes the 10-lb DNA Skate M8, with a claimed 15-mile range, and the Meepo Campus V3 Max, which offers up to 20 miles and speeds of 28 mph. Their compact size makes them easier to carry and store than many e-bikes and e-scooters, positioning e-skateboards as another option for last-mile travel. Got your micromobility moment to share?
