Gogoro announced to go public in Q1 2022. This goes hand in hand with their international expansion with leading OEMs in the space of battery-charging, as discussed in our last quarterly update.
Cabify is integrating the movo brand. According to CincoDías, movo has 2,100 vehicles and 200,000 customers.

In the Netherlands, moped riders with 25km/h mopeds (snorfiets) need to wear a helmet from July 2022 onwards. Helmets are already mandatory for faster mopeds. The moped sharing market for snorfiets has seen significant growth due to a lack of competition from kick scooters.
