Indian cities have led to increased traffic congestion and environmental issues, prompting a need for sustainable mobility solutions. This study explores the feasibility of emicromobility, including e-bikes and e-scooters, as a viable alternative to traditional transport methods. Using a mixedmethods approach, the research includes a literature review and a comparative analysis of case studies from cities like San Francisco, Paris, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad. Findings indicate that successful e-micromobility deployment relies on strong policies, sufficient charging infrastructure, geofencing, and public acceptance, with challenges such as infrastructure limitations and regulatory inconsistencies.
2. Research Design 2.1 Aim To develop a framework for integrating e-micromobility with Aligarh’s urban transport system to enhance connectivity, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable mobility.
The study proposes a framework for integrating emicromobility into Indian urban transport systems, focusing on multimodal connectivity, equitable access, and sustainability. It serves as a foundation for policymakers and urban planners, with recommendations for further research to enhance the framework's applicability across various Indian cities.
2.2 Objectives: 1.
Assessing feasibility by evaluating parameters necessary for the integration of e-micromobility solutions.
2.
To identify challenges and key barriers such as regulatory constraints, economic limitations and infrastructural gaps.
3.
Developing Strategic Interventions by formulating a structured framework with policy recommendations and design interventions for seamless e-micromobility integration into the city's transport systems.
4.
Analyzing Impact by examining the potential benefits of e-micromobility on traffic congestion, accessibility and environmental sustainability.

1. INTRODUCTION E-mobility refers to the use of electric-powered transportation modes, including e-bikes, e-scooters, e-cars, and electric buses, as sustainable alternatives to conventional fuel-based vehicles. This shift is driven by the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate air pollution, and enhance energy efficiency in urban transport systems. E-micro-mobility refers to the use of small, lightweight electric-powered vehicles designed for short-distance travel, typically in urban areas.
2.3 Need of Study: With the pressing need for environmental sustainability and the shift towards changing mobility trends, emicromobility offers a promising solution. Technological advancements have made electric vehicles more efficient and accessible, enabling their integration with existing urban infrastructure. These solutions are particularly relevant for developing regions, where costeffective and scalable transportation options are essential to accommodate future urban growth.
