Purpose: To analyse the available domestic and foreign information on the frequency of use and quality of personal mobility devices (PMD) in urban areas. To analyse the PMD development trends. Methods: Research on open source publications; statistical data; survey and research data. Results: The utilization of personal mobility devices is gaining popularity in Russia and worldwide, particularly in major urban areas. The PMD market growth indicates a significant spread of this type of transport in the Russian Federation and beyond. It is imperative to regulate the PMD movement and ensure safety when using them. The expansion of the PMD market necessitates the refinement of existing legislation. Practical significance: The results of the analysis of PMD trends can be used in projects for the development of urban infrastructure, to solve the problems of managing the transport system, and to develop measures to ensure the safety of PMD use. The analysis of PMD infrastructure development cases can facilitate the planning and implementation of micro-mobility projects.
