Highlights from Micromobility Europe 2026

Lyft Urban Solutions takes the stage at Micromobility Europe 2026

Our team joined industry leaders in Berlin for Micromobility Europe 2026. Outside the venue, attendees could test ride our latest bikes on a dedicated test track before heading inside for discussions on powering bikeshare at scale, why we design and build our own bikes and stations, and more:

• Tobias Griesmeier, Senior Policy Manager, joined a panel on transport poverty, exploring how shared micromobility can help break down mobility barriers and expand access to sustainable transportation. A recap of the discussion is available here.
• Michael Frumin, VP of Technology, joined a panel on the invisible technology stack powering micromobility at scale, exploring how hardware design, operational data, and field experience work together to keep large systems running reliably and efficiently.
