“…In addition, the results of the pilot project in Hamburg show that extending the operational areas into the outer districts could encourage the use of e-scooters as a feeder for PT [37], the potential of which has not yet been fully exhausted. Therefore, expanding the operational areas into the outer areas of larger cities as well as establishing e-scooter sharing systems in low-density areas could increase the proportion of MIT trips substituted by e-scooter trips, although the uncertainty about the availability of e-scooters discourages their use for morning commutes [12,37]. However, because of the limited sample size, regionally differentiated analysis for feeder trips could not be performed in this study, and further scientific analysis is required.…”

“…Surveys among e-scooter users of the pilot in Hamburg indicate that the location of rental stations and the difficult forward planning due to uncertain availability make the use of e-scooters for commuting unattractive, especially in the morning hours [37]. Under time pressure, e.g., during morning commutes, higher access times are an additional source of stress [12]. A lack of options for the first and the last mile, as well as dissatisfaction with existing PT options, makes users more reluctant to use PT for these trips [12].…”

A lack of options for the first and the last mile, as well as dissatisfaction with existing PT options, makes users more reluctant to use PT for these trips [12]. Accepted distances to find an available rental e-scooter in Paris range from 2 min (acceptable for 90%) to 5 min of walking (acceptable for 50%) [34].…”

“…E-scooters have been described as an environmentally friendly means of transport, in particular by their providers [6], because of their low land use consumption as well as their significantly better energy efficiency compared with conventional motorized vehicles [11]. A stated-choice experiment conducted by Baek et al [12] showed that some users found the combination of PT and e-scooters to be more attractive than traveling by car. Assuming that short car trips would be replaced by e-scooters and that inter-and multimodal mobility behavior would be promoted in combination with PT [13,14], it is hoped that the introduction of e-scooters could contribute to a reduction in MIT.…”

“I’ll Take the E-Scooter Instead of My Car”—The Potential of E-Scooters as a Substitute for Car Trips in Germany

Considering the controversial discussion about the sustainability and usefulness of e-scooters, in this study, we analyzed the substitution potential of e-scooters, especially with regard to car trips. Based on data from the national mobility survey in Germany (Mobility in Germany, MiD 2017), we identified trips that could be covered purely by an e-scooter. Thereby, trip length, trip purposes, weather conditions, and other influencing factors were taken into account. Our analysis showed that, in Germany, 10–15% of the motorized individual transport (MIT) trips could be made by e-scooter. Accompanied by a literature analysis, we then critically reflected on the overall potential of e-scooters and formulated recommendations for urban and transport planning.

“…The popularity of shared micro-mobility services has spread widely. They are used in trips to urban centers or as an alternative for the first and last mile of metropolitan journeys [4]. These mobility systems include shared use of bicycles, motorcycles and scooters, or other low-velocity modes, in docked or dockless service systems.…”

Parking Places to Moped-Style Scooter Sharing Services Using GIS Location-Allocation Models and GPS Data

Moped-style scooters are one of the most popular systems of micro-mobility. They are undoubtedly good for the city, as they promote forms of environmentally-friendly mobility, in which flexibility helps prevent traffic build-up in the urban centers where they operate. However, their increasing numbers are also generating conflicts as a result of the bad behavior of users, their unwarranted use in public spaces, and above all their parking. This paper proposes a methodology for finding parking spaces for shared motorcycle services using Geographic information system (GIS) location-allocation models and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. We used the center of Madrid and data from the company Muving (one of the city’s main operators) for our case study. As well as finding the location of parking spaces for motorbikes, our analysis examines how the varying distribution of demand over the course of the day affects the demand allocated to parking spaces. The results demonstrate how reserving a relatively small number of parking spaces for scooters makes it possible to capture over 70% of journeys in the catchment area. The daily variations in the distribution of demand slightly reduce the efficiency of the network of parking spaces in the morning and increase it at night, when demand is strongly focused on the most central areas.

Micro‐mobility services, which are considered a sustainable alternative to traditional transportation modes, have gained substantial popularity due to advancements in mobile technology. As one of those modes of transportation, shared e‐scooter services have encouraged several startups in urban areas, allowing them to reach massive numbers of consumers in a highly competitive environment. This study aims to explore gains and barriers that affect the intention of consumers to use shared e‐scooter services, all within the framework of sustainability‐driven considerations. The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) Algorithm was used to analyse 24.798 reviews from the Google Play Store, uncovering eight topics. Those topics were used to discover customer value perceptions in the shared e‐scooter context and compare them with the related literature on perceived value. Besides, their impact on user ratings on the mobile application platform was measured using machine learning algorithms. The study's findings are expected to contribute to developing regulations for shared e‐scooter services, which have gained popularity as an eco‐friendly mode of transportation sustainability in urban areas by introducing a novel perspective.
