The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) evaluates micro-mobility batteries in compliance with micro-mobility battery testing standards.
What is Micro Mobility?
The term micro-mobility is an umbrella term referring to small, predominantly single-seat vehicles operating at speeds under or around 15 mph. Micro mobility has increased in recent years as scooters, bikes, and similar vehicles are available to rent around cities nationwide.
Manufacturers generally rely on lithium-ion batteries to power their micro-mobility devices, causing concern among lawmakers and the public. While effective, lithium-ion batteries can be serious safety hazards due to their flammability and sensitivity to specific weather and environmental conditions.
