Why Storage Space Is the Most Expensive Part of Urban Mobility

When people think about the cost of mobility, they usually focus on the purchase price.

But in cities, the real cost often comes later.

The Hidden Cost of Storage

Urban storage isn’t free.

Garages, parking spots, and commercial space cost hundreds—or thousands—per month. Even storing a vehicle indoors can mean sacrificing valuable living or working space.

Over time, storage can cost more than the vehicle itself.

Why Traditional Vehicles Don’t Scale

Cars and vans require:

• Dedicated parking
• Insurance
• Maintenance
• Space cities don’t have

Even cargo bikes often require floor space many users simply don’t have.

Vertical Storage Changes Everything

Vertical storage flips the equation.

When a vehicle can:

• Fold quickly
• Stand upright
• Fit into tight indoor spaces

…it stops competing with real estate.
