“…This was no surprise since the human movement was at its barest minimum during this time period. In Louisville, Kentucky, Hosseinzadeh and Kluger (2021) observed a similar steeper decline of e-scooter trips during the height of lockdown. The daily trip count in 2020 began to experience an increase as Wave-I started to slow down, and the Reopening Phase II started.…”

“…reduced travel in general and disrupted travel patterns across cities all over the world, affecting urban mobility which was confirmed in reports [94] and scientific research [85,104,105]. After an initial dip, micromobility services, including the shared ones, have gained popularity as ensuring social distancing.…”

Aim Active transportation referring to non-motorized modes of transport is promoted and popularized both in practice and in the scientific literature, while their use for urban freight transport has been largely neglected. Thus the main scope of the paper is to indicate the development potential of micromobility use in urban freight transport and to check its influence on urban sustainability. Methods The authors have hypothesized that active means of transport, with a focus on micromobility, have great development potential in freight transportation in cities. The implemented methods for analyzing the relationship between users’ characteristics, micromobility, and its impact on urban sustainable development, were logit and probit modelling. The authors’ system includes an analysis of factors connected with the topics of sustainability and micromobilty, that have met an essential scientific gap that this paper addresses. Logistic (logit) regression is used mainly for binary, ordinal, and multi-level outcomes to find the probability of success (i.e. occurrence of some event). Probit regression, however, is primarily used in binary response models and assumes the normal distribution of data. Results The main finding of the article has led the authors to the statement that active means of transport, including micromobility have great development potential in freight transportation in cities. Conclusions Knowledge of the acceptance of micromobility solutions is essential for municipal authorities in shaping the development of urban transport systems. Thus proper strategies and actions need to be prioritized to leverage the sustainability-related co-benefits of active transport.

“…We hypothesize that this gap is growing due to several reasons: an increase in bicycles' theft in the city (scooters are easier to take indoors), a prohibition on entering trains with e-bicycles between 6:00-15:00 and an increase in public commuting into Tel-Aviv using trains with scooters being used for the first and last miles. Some of this increase may also be attributed to the COVID-19 epidemic which has driven more people out of crowded public transportation and onto personal devices as reported by Ayfantopoulou et al in Thessaloniki, Greece [14], Dean and Garcia in Texas, USA [15], Dias et al in Braga, Portugal [16], Hosseinzadeh and Kluger in Kentucky, USA [17], and Campisi et al in Palermo, Italy [18].…”

The use of e-scooters and e-bicycles has been on the rise with an increased medical and financial burden. Our purpose was to identify risk factors for increased medical charges and recommend appropriate steps. We studied a retrospective cohort presenting to a level 1 urban trauma center from January 2018 through July 2019 due to micro-mobility platforms. The primary outcome for comparison was total billing cost and a regression analysis was performed to identify variables associated with higher cost. A total of 4073 patients were identified. The majority of which were males (67%), aged 20-30 years (41%). Helmet use reported in only 39.8%. Radiologic studies were performed more often in the e-bicycle group. Total billing charges amounted to 28.3 million New Israeli Shekels ($7.9 million). Average total cost was higher for e-bicycle injuries and in non-helmet users. Other factors associated with higher cost were age, and time of day 12:00-18:00. We recommend that urban cities invest in infrastructure in advance to micro-mobility introduction, regulate the use of e-platforms, designate resources for education on personal protective equipment and prepare medical centers in advance.
