Analysis
OpenStreet is launching Slomobi, a licence-free 6 km/h mini vehicle, with sharing starting in Yokohama on October 5 at three stations via the HELLO CYCLING app. It is a telling thread for Japan's tourism and aging society: slow micromobility is filling short trips that are too far to walk and too short to drive, friendly to both visitors and those with limited mobility. Watch uptake and whether it expands to other cities.
