TECH FOCUS: UrBAN MOBiliTy/UAM SAE making its mark in urban mobility Committee will operate under the broader SAE Vehicle Battery Steering Committee. SAE's first standard on micromobility was issued in 2019, SAE J3194 Taxonomy and Classification of Powered Micromobility Vehicles. This recommended practice came out of the SAE Powered Micromobility Vehicles Committee. Some micromobility technologies fall outside traditional definitions, standards 18 October 2023 and regulations. The committee will initially focus on matters that are not normally subject to United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or similar regulations. As defined in J3194, " personal mobility devices " may be device-propelled or have propulsion assistance. They are low-speed devices that have a maximum device-propelled speed of 30 mph and transport three or fewer people. The committee is concerned with the eventual utilization and operational characteristics of these devices, and how they may be safely incorporated in the transportation infrastructure.
