European Mobility Week 2026: Rethink How You Move

How do you get to work, university, the supermarket, or the train station?

For many of us, the answer has become automatic. We take the same route and use the same transport every day without thinking much about whether there could be another way.

European Mobility Week 2026, taking place from 16–22 September, is an opportunity to change that.

The European Commission's annual campaign encourages cities and individuals to explore more sustainable ways of moving, from walking and cycling to public transport and other clean mobility solutions. This year's theme, “Mobility for Everyone,” focuses particularly on making mobility accessible and inclusive for people across different generations.

But sustainable mobility doesn't necessarily mean completely changing the way you live.

Sometimes, it starts with just one journey.

Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference

Think about your daily routine.

Perhaps you drive a few kilometres to work. Maybe the metro station is close enough to be useful, but still a 20-minute walk away. Or perhaps you regularly wait for a bus just to complete the final part of your journey.

These are exactly the kinds of everyday trips where changing how we move can make a difference.

Walking shorter distances, cycling, using public transport or choosing micromobility for suitable journeys can all become part of a more flexible urban routine.

The important thing isn't choosing one perfect form of transport.

It's choosing the right one for each journey.

The First and Last Mile

One of the biggest challenges in urban mobility is surprisingly simple: getting from your starting point to public transport — and from public transport to your final destination.

It's often called the first and last mile.

You may have a train that takes you almost directly to work, for example, but the station is still too far from home to walk comfortably every morning.

This is where different forms of mobility can complement each other.

Instead of thinking:

Car OR public transport OR scooter

we can start thinking:

Scooter + train.

Walking + metro.

Bike + public transport.

A more connected journey can make everyday transportation more practical while reducing dependence on the car for shorter urban trips.

Combine different ways of travelling when local regulations allow it.
Walking, cycling, public transport and micromobility can complement each other. Always check whether electric scooters are permitted on the public transport services you plan to use.

Where Do Electric Scooters Fit In?

Electric scooters have become another option within the urban mobility mix.

They're particularly useful for short and medium-distance journeys and for riders looking for greater flexibility in their daily commute.

There are no timetables to follow and no waiting for the next bus. For suitable journeys, you simply get on and ride.

An electric scooter can be useful for:

• Travelling to work or university
• Reaching a train or metro station
• Completing the last part of a commute
• Running everyday errands
• Replacing suitable short car journeys
• Combining different modes of transport

And because many models are foldable, they can offer additional flexibility when planning multimodal journeys.

Of course, riders should always follow the local regulations governing electric scooters and where they can be used.

Mobility Should Fit the Rider

This year's European Mobility Week highlights an important idea: mobility should work for everyone.

Children, young adults, commuters and older people can have very different mobility needs. The official 2026 campaign therefore places a particular focus on intergenerational fairness and transport systems that consider both current and future generations.

The same principle applies when choosing an electric scooter.

There's no single scooter that's right for everyone.

A rider travelling a few kilometres through the city may prioritise portability and simplicity.

Someone travelling longer distances may care more about battery capacity and comfort.

Another rider living in an area with uneven roads may place greater importance on suspension.

The right choice depends on where, how and how often you ride.

Choosing the Right Joyor for Your City

Different cities — and different countries — also have different requirements.

For Everyday Urban Mobility

A practical commuter scooter doesn't always need maximum power or a huge battery.

Models such as the Joyor LiteGo DGT and Joyor C10 DGT offer practical options for everyday urban journeys in Spain.

For riders who want additional range and comfort, the new Joyor T6D DGT offers a 48V 18Ah battery, 10-inch pneumatic tires and a range of up to 50–55 km.

For Longer Daily Journeys

If your commute covers more kilometres, battery capacity becomes increasingly important.

Models such as the Joyor Y10 DGT provide greater autonomy for riders who want to travel longer distances between charges.

Riding in Germany?

For Germany, Joyor offers models with ABE approval, including the Joyor S5 ABE and long-range Joyor Y8-S ABE.

Whatever model you choose, always check the regulations and certification requirements that apply where you intend to ride.

5 Ways to Rethink Your Daily Commute

European Mobility Week lasts seven days, but the idea behind it can continue throughout the year.

Here are five simple ways to start:

1. Walk when the journey is short.
Not every trip requires a vehicle.

2. Combine different ways of travelling.
Public transport and micromobility don't have to compete. Sometimes they're better together.

3. Reconsider short car journeys.
Look at the journeys you make every week and identify the ones that could realistically be made another way.

4. Plan smarter routes.
The fastest route by car isn't necessarily the most convenient overall. Explore combinations of walking, public transport, cycling and micromobility.

5. Take care of what you already own.
Maintaining your scooter, bicycle or other mobility equipment helps keep it performing properly and ready for everyday use.

More Than One Week

European Mobility Week is the perfect moment to reconsider something we usually do without thinking: how we get from A to B.

The goal doesn't have to be to completely transform your routine overnight.

Maybe it's riding instead of driving for one short journey.

Maybe it's combining your scooter with the train.

Or simply walking somewhere you normally wouldn't.

Small choices can gradually create new habits.

And when millions of everyday journeys begin to change, the way our cities move can change too.

This European Mobility Week, rethink your journey.

Walk it. Ride it. Combine it. Make mobility work for you.
