Abstract

A universal micromobility vehicle configured for use in a vehicle share system comprises a frame, a footboard fixed to the frame, a seat fixed to the frame, handlebars, and front and rear wheels supported by the frame. The seat is separated from the footboard in a vertical direction by a fixed distance between 500 mm and 600 mm. The handlebars are separated from the footboard in the vertical direction by a fixed distance between 700 mm and 900 mm. The footboard is fixed to the frame at a fixed vertical distance relative to the lower surfaces of the front and rear wheels between 160 mm and 240 mm. The seat is fixed to the frame at a fixed vertical distance relative to the lower surfaces of the front and rear wheels between 700 mm and 800 mm.
