At first I thought the article would be about the vans and charging methods undermining the potential sustainability, but it doesn't even mention that and more so points out that the majority of users were previously doing things that used less emissions. For that segment of the population, it's more analogous to going from horse and buggy to gasoline cars. The autonomy increased and more trips were made. > I'm still very very doubtful this micromobility really is worse than a full sized vehicle its only worse if the users were never going to use a full sized vehicle. which the article is saying the majority of users never were. thats why its "worse", for emissions, because the trips weren't going to be made using something else with more emissions, or weren't going to be made at all. the article isn't drawing any conclusion about the benefits of mobility, just giving data where there was an abscence of data.
