Taxonomy and Classification of Powered Micromobility Vehicles
J3194_201911
This technical report provides a taxonomy and classification of powered micromobility vehicles. These vehicles may be privately owned or be available via shared- or rental-fleet operations. This technical report does not provide specifications or otherwise impose minimum safety design requirements for powered micromobility vehicles.
Rationale:
Standardizing terms, definitions, and classification of powered micromobility vehicles serves several purposes. Standardization will:
Provide a commonality of terms, definitions, and classifications of powered micromobility vehicles for industry, consumers, and public agencies (e.g., regulators and partnering agencies);
Reduce discrepancies in terminology used across jurisdictions and sectors; and
Allow public agencies to clarify policies related to powered micromobility vehicles.
This technical report has been developed according to the following guiding principles. It should:
Provide functional definitions;
Be consistent with current industry practice and existing literature to the extent practicable;
Be useful across disciplines; and
Be clear and cogent.
