“…A first important aspect is the average consumer decision to adopt a micromobility solution over the conventional means of transportation, which can be influenced by multiple aspects: price and time savings, social perception, safety, and other. This is supported by the study of Bretones and Marquet [25] which showed that beyond the monetary costs and other functional aspects, emicromobility adoption relates more to symbolic factors that can be associated with subjective factors (such as self-identity, sense of belongingness, and pro-environmental attitudes). On the other hand, the adoption of PEDELECS for businesses is connected with efficiency and capacity.…”

Sustainable transportation solutions are more crucial than ever because of the pressing need to increase resource efficiency while lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The most recent advancements in the e-cycle sector have made a significant contribution to this goal and have attracted the interest of numerous businesses that offer mobility services. This paper discusses the main topics surrounding pedal electric cycles (PEDELECS) with an accent on a niche application, namely e-cargo cycles. The paper highlights not just the defining characteristics of these categories, but also other relevant aspects such as barriers to market penetration, general legislation, benefits for specific applications, as well as the significance of incentives, local infrastructure, and urban policies. Based on the available literature, it can be concluded that PEDELECS have a considerable potential to contribute to sustainability goals in urban areas due to their numerous benefits (functionality without emissions, less space occupied on roads, ability to access destinations with increased precision, ability to travel in car-restricted areas, lower costs compared to conventional vehicles, added health benefits to the users, versatility etc.). However, there are also significant challenges and barriers that must be overcome before they can see widespread adoption.

“…decisions; such nonfunctional factors as environmental issues, innovation, and a sen belonging may even have a stronger impact on individuals than such traditional tional factors as speed, cost, and time savings [55]. Subjective consciousness involve only an individual's moral responsibility and self-identity but also the social sustaina of micro-mobility.…”

In the post-sharing era, the evolution of the shared micro-mobility industry has transitioned from expanding market share to providing precise services. The focus on user satisfaction has shifted from a singular emphasis on functional utility to diversified product values. Product perceived value has emerged as a comprehensive factor for enhancing user satisfaction, aiding companies in formulating precise services, mitigating urban resource wastage, and promoting sustainable urban development. From the perspective of product perceived value, this study combined the analysis of factors affecting user satisfaction of shared micro-mobility and the interaction between these aspects and carried out the following two studies. Research No. 1: By mining the user review data on app platforms related to shared micro-mobility and adopting the latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithm, we have initially identified 17 major factors affecting the satisfaction of users and summarized these factors into four research topics constituting product perceived value. Research No. 2: On the basis of Research No. 1, the content of the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) was expanded, and a user satisfaction research model focusing on the perceived value of shared micro-mobility products was constructed. Afterwards, by using the data collected in questionnaire surveys, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to model the user satisfaction of shared micro-mobility through SEM, which was deployed to establish an empirical analysis. It is found that (1) both user expectation and product quality can positively affect the perceived value of products through interactive experience; (2) factors such as user expectation, product quality, interactive experience, and subjective consciousness can positively affect user satisfaction through the perceived value of products, with user expectation delivering the greatest influence; and (3) subjective consciousness has a direct positive effect on users’ willingness to continuously use a product but no significant effect on user satisfaction. These findings expand the user satisfaction theoretical model in the field of shared micro-mobility, constitute suggestions for product development and service promotion in the shared micro-mobility industry, and can provide new ideas and methods for the sustainable development of urban transportation.

“…Thus, bicycle use is close to gender parity in contexts with extensive cycling infrastructure, while the gender gap is broader in those places where dedicated infrastructure is missing (Braun et al, 2016;Mooney et al, 2019). Nonetheless, gender is not the only sociodemographic factor to influence cycling and riding rates (Bretones and Marquet, 2022). When micromobility use is studied through intersecting identities, researchers have found that it tends to be skewed towards young, employed, highly educated, white men without children (Dill and McNeil, 2020;Reck and Axhausen, 2021;Soltani et al, 2019;Xin et al, 2018).…”
