IN-MOB (Innovative Products For Sustainable Micromobility – GA 101115057) is a project funded by the
Interregional Innovation Investments Instrument under the ERDF programme.
The project deals with the development of innovative electric micro-vehicles (bikes, scooters and cargo-
bikes) to be tested in different contexts in order to propose innovative solutions towards sustainable and
integrated mobility. The project will develop and test micro-vehicles with a very low environmental impact
(with recycled/recyclable materials) suitable for integration with public transport, an innovative power
supply system with latest-generation supercapacitors, capable of providing energy for medium range and
high peak power; an innovative, lightweight and efficient electric motor integrated into the wheel, hubs for
the rapid charging of innovative batteries, based on photovoltaic energy and equipped for battery sharing.
INMOB focuses on an existing interregional partnership working around concrete smart specialisation
strategies. In fact, many of the partners are already involved in joint projects on the same topics of
sustainable micro-mobility: "MicrovehicLEfOrstaNd-Alone and shaReDmObility" - LEONARDO (GA
101006687) and Long Life to Micromobility – LIFE2M (GA 101074307).
The innovations developed by the industrial partners will be tested in Madeira (PT) with a shared e-scooter
service for tourists, and in Palermo (IT), with e-bikes and cargo-bikes used to test the potential integration
with public transport and advantages for urban logistics.
The partnership consists of: University of Catania (IT – Project Coordinator), University of Florence (IT), F&N
Compositi (IT), Project Vending (IT), GEM Motors (SI), UNEED.IT (IT), EUINNOVA (BE), University of Palermo
(IT), Fondazione Marida Correnti (IT), Esco srl (IT), Camara Municipal do Funchal (PT), Secretaria Regional
de Equipamentos e Infraestructuras de Madeira (PT).
