Micromobility will play an increasingly important role in the future in large cities, there are now thousands of bicycles and scooters around the streets of Milan, Paris, London, New York.

We are talking about Snap, a mini pedal assisted car with an electric motor, the result of the idea of a mechanical engineer and a designer thanks to regional funding.
