👉 𝐌𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓 has no intention of making anyone’s life difficult.
Our role is to educate and inform the public on mobility regulations that have largely been in place since 2023, and to help users stay safe, compliant, and protected.
At 𝐌𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐓, we support responsible and inclusive personal mobility. Upcoming regulatory changes are designed to enhance safety on shared paths, safeguarding both device users and pedestrians.
