Today marks the official launch of Mantis Motion Labs – the home for rider-first innovation, real-world safety research, product development, and community-driven solutions for the growing micro-mobility movement.
Our mission is straightforward:
See the risks. Protect the rider. Build what comes next.
Cities are changing. E-bikes, electric scooters, delivery platforms, shared mobility services, and other emerging transportation options are becoming part of everyday life. These devices create new possibilities for affordable, flexible, and efficient travel—but they also introduce safety challenges that deserve smarter solutions.
Mantis Motion Labs was created to help meet those challenges.
Built Around Real Riders
The best safety products do not begin in a conference room. They begin with the people navigating city streets every day.
That includes:
- E-bike commuters
- Electric-scooter riders
- Delivery professionals
- Rental riders
- Urban families
- Safety advocates
- Community organizations
- Transportation and city partners
We want to understand what riders experience before, during, and after every trip. Visibility problems, blind spots, equipment limitations, traffic conflicts, poor infrastructure, nighttime riding, changing weather, and the pressure placed on delivery workers all influence rider safety.
Those experiences should help guide what gets researched, designed, tested, and built.
Vision. Protection. Innovation.
These three principles define the work of Mantis Motion Labs.
Vision means identifying risks that riders, drivers, communities, and transportation systems may overlook.
Protection means developing practical solutions that improve rider awareness, visibility, comfort, and safety.
Innovation means transforming real-world feedback into better concepts, prototypes, products, and research.
Our projects will explore ideas ranging from wearable and handlebar-mounted safety products to visibility tools, rear-view solutions, smart accessories, rider equipment, and other concepts designed around everyday micro-mobility challenges.
Your Voice Helps Shape the Mission
Mantis Motion Labs is not being built around assumptions. It is being built around feedback.
We are inviting riders, delivery workers, commuters, safety advocates, and members of the public to participate in our Micro-Mobility Rider Safety & Usage Survey.
Choose the option that works best for you.
