The data reality

How much data does a connected vehicle actually use?

Every connected vehicle generates a constant stream of operational data. From GPS tracking and battery monitoring to ride events, diagnostics, and over-the-air firmware updates, data usage depends on how frequently vehicles communicate and how they're managed throughout the day. The examples below provide a general starting point for planning micromobility deployments.

Device type
Typical monthly data
What drives the usage
Shared e-bike
20-80 MB
GPS location, battery status, ride telemetry
Shared scooter
30-150 MB
Real-time tracking, diagnostics, firmware updates
Delivery scooter
100-300 MB
Fleet tracking, navigation, operational telemetry
Connected cargo bike
150-500 MB
Sensor data, diagnostics, remote management
Device type
Typical monthly data

Connected cargo bike

Ranges are typical for European and North American deployments Simbase observes in production. Actual usage depends on OCPP implementation, telemetry cadence, and what's bundled with the charger (screen, camera, payment, DCS). Numbers should be validated against your own telemetry before committing to a plan.

Where micromobility connectivity falls short

Three connectivity challenges that slow fleet operations

Expanding into new markets shouldn't mean starting over

Growing into new cities or countries often means sourcing new SIMs, negotiating additional carrier contracts, and updating deployment workflows. A global connectivity strategy simplifies expansion and reduces operational complexity.

One network isn't enough for a moving fleet

Shared scooters, e-bikes, and delivery vehicles don't stay within perfect coverage. Multi-network connectivity helps vehicles maintain service as they move between coverage areas and changing network conditions.

Troubleshooting starts with visibility

When a vehicle goes offline, it's important to know whether the issue is the SIM, the cellular network, the modem, or the vehicle itself. Real-time connectivity insights help operations teams identify and resolve issues more quickly.

What Simbase gives you
