Personal mobility devices (PMDs) have been increasingly popular in recent years, offering a convenient and ecologically beneficial alternative to traditional modes of transportation. With technical advancements, PMDs have grown to include a wide range of functions and capabilities. Aside from the well-known electric scooters, bikes, and hover boards, there are several additional PMD categories that are pushing the boundaries of mobility. For example, self-balancing unicycles have increased in popularity among riders seeking a unique and challenging riding experience. Furthermore, electric skateboards offer a more nimble and sporty alternative for people who enjoy slashing through the streets.

One lesser-known feature of PMDs is their potential for accessibility. While PMDs are commonly linked with recreational use, they can also be tailored to the needs of people with impairments. For example, wheelchair-accessible electric scooters allow autonomous transportation for people who have trouble walking. As PMD technology advances, we should expect to see more inventive and customized devices emerge. From foldable designs for convenient storage to improved safety features such as collision avoidance systems, the future of personal mobility is bright and full of opportunities.
