The rise of micromobility in the Caribbean

The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines context

Saint-Vincent-et-les-Grenadines, an archipelago renowned for its sumptuous landscapes, unspoilt beaches and biodiversity, attracts thousands of travelers in search of authenticity every year. Yet, until now, soft mobility has remained underdeveloped on the main island. The arrival of eScoot Rentals marks a turning point in meeting a growing need for practical, environmentally-friendly travel adapted to the island’s topography.

Why is micromobility so attractive today?

Micromobility, as embodied by electric scooters and bicycles, appeals for its flexibility and low environmental impact. They help to ease traffic congestion, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and offer an affordable alternative. In Saint-Vincent, where journeys are short, these means of transport offered by eScoot Rentals are perfectly suited to discovering the region while limiting polluting emissions.
