Transportation, which is seen as an important development tool in developed countries, is a field where developments in technology are used intensively. Problems such as energy and climate crises caused by fuel consumption at the global level leads developed countries’ technology and infrastructure investments in transportation towards electric alternatives, specifically for short-distance journeys. Micromobility is a short-range and electricity-oriented transportation adaptation that continues to develop rapidly to keep pace with these problems. It makes an economic contribution by saving costs and reducing travel time. It reduces distance cost by 69% and carbon emissions by 84% compared to the car when used with public transportation. Within the scope of this study, the current situation of micromobility in the cities of Türkiye is explained with basic economic variables and the potential cities where it can be the subject of investment are interpreted with spatial statistical analysis. The findings show that micromobility investments are located in cities which have metropolitan municipality administration also in the southern and western regions. Although not yet statistically significant, it is noteworthy that the results show that the correlation between high micromobility investment—high economic level is most significant in Istanbul, while the correlation between low micromobility investment—low economic level is most significant in the southeast and eastern regions. The emphasis on the fact that micromobility will gain a share of 25% in the mode choice for the future years, especially in developed countries, is a sign that micromobility will be a very important investment tool for the transportation and energy sectors of the national economy.
