What are Micromobility Vehicles?
Micromobility vehicles are small, lightweight, personal transportation devices that typically cannot travel faster than 30 MPH.
Micromobility vehicles include non-motorized, human powered vehicles, such as bicycles, as well as motorized, electric powered vehicles, such as electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric skateboards, electric unicycles, and other small personal transportation vehicles.
Non-motorized skateboards or electric personal assistance mobility devices (EPAMDs) are not considered micromobility vehicles.
New Micromobility Policy
The University has implemented a new Micromobility Policy to support safe, more organized use of bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, unicycles (or single-wheel devices) and other personal mobility devices on campus. Students, faculty and staff should register their device(s) prior to arriving to campus.
Registration is required for all micromobility devices.
Parking, Locking and Charging
- Park at a bike rack and lock personal micromobility vehicles with a U-lock.
- Don’t block sidewalks; keep paths clear.
- Don’t bring micromobility devices into UA buildings, including residence halls and Greek housing.
- Never use or charge the battery if it’s damaged.
Safety Tips
- Follow the rules of the road—stop at stop signs and red lights.
- Look up! Don’t ride while looking at your phone, and never Text and Ride!

- Signal with your left arm when turning or changing lanes (Left Turn: hand and arm extended out, parallel to the ground. Right Turn: arm extended out, bent at the elbow, hand and forearm extended upward.)
