“…As in the mobility cluster, an environmental concern is also observed in the publications of the electric motorcycles cluster. Some works have evaluated the environmental, economic, and social impacts of these motorcycles [2]; nevertheless, the environmental one has received a special attention, and life cycle assessments are common in the field [85,107].…”

“…Unlike in the mobility cluster, studies in the electric motorcycles cluster have been developed in territories such as Germany [85,107], Norway [27], Poland [88], the European Union [80,90,108], and Taiwan [86,106].…”

“…Furthermore, the terms emissions, environmental impact, and developing countries exhibited a positive AGR during the 2016-2020 period. Research in these topics has focused on the impact of motorcycles and other modes of transport on climate change [88] and on the environmental impact of electric motorcycles sharing [107]. In addition, life cycle assessments of this new technology (in terms of shared use), which involve calculating and monetizing the emissions generated, have also been conducted [85].…”

The motorcycle market has experienced an upward trend. That growth brings along mobility, accidents, and environment-related issues; nevertheless, there is a scarcity of literature on evaluating the impact of motorcycle market policies. Consequently, it has been challenging for researchers and policymakers to develop evidence-based strategies to promote or control the growth of this market. This paper aims to review and analyze the scientific literature about motorcycle market policies, using tech-mining techniques and a cluster analysis of keywords, to provide insights about the most relevant world trends in this research area. For this purpose, the bibliographic information of publications in the field was retrieved from the Scopus database. As a result, three thematic clusters (sustainability, mobility, and electric motorcycles) were identified and explained. According to our findings, greenhouse gas emissions, sustainability, environmental impact, and developing countries are the hot research topics. The research leader countries on said topics are the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. This study can, therefore, be used as a reference to define a future research agenda in the area. Consequently, it permits researchers and policymakers to identify trending topics and gaps in knowledge, as a baseline to include motorcycles in sustainable and affordable transport systems design.

“…However, the maximum travel distance depends on the battery capacity and life. Another factor to be considered is the different amounts of energy consumption between shared and private electric scooters and bikes [38]. To recharge shared micromobility vehicles, it is necessary to collect all the vehicles with combustion-engine cars/trucks, whereas for private scooters and bikes, there is no need for this surplus energy consumption [38].…”

“…Another factor to be considered is the different amounts of energy consumption between shared and private electric scooters and bikes [38]. To recharge shared micromobility vehicles, it is necessary to collect all the vehicles with combustion-engine cars/trucks, whereas for private scooters and bikes, there is no need for this surplus energy consumption [38]. However, if shared e-micromobility vehicles are used instead of unsustainable modes of transport such as private fossil fuel cars, then this disadvantage of surplus energy consumption can be ignored compared to the energy savings caused by the modal shift away from fossil fuel cars [38].…”

When considering the sharp growth rate of the use of e-micromobility vehicles, such as e-scooters and e-bikes, it is necessary to investigate whether these emerging modes of transport play a sustainable role in cities in terms of their energy efficiency, emissions, and their relationship with other modes of mobility, such as public transport. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the impacts of e-micromobility through a systematic review of relevant studies in the field of e-scooters and e-bikes. We followed the steps of PRISMA to conduct a systematic literature review, including identification, screening, eligibility and inclusion steps. One hundred forty-six studies were reviewed and compiled, and 29 of these studies were selected for the focus of this review and their research data were synthesized. The impacts of e-micromobilities were categorized into four categories—travel behaviors, energy consumption, environmental impacts, and safety and related regulations. The category of travel behaviors includes the analysis of the purposes of travel, modal shift from different modes of transport to e-micromobility vehicles, average travel time, and distance. In this review, the findings of relevant studies in different cities around world are compared to each other and synthesized to give an insight into the role of e-micromobility in the present and in the future of urban transportation.
