The sharing economy is becoming increasingly popular in many sectors also thanks to the fact that not only young generation, but people of almost all ages are digitally literate, and therefore they readily participate in sharing economy practices. A very important part of their motivation comes from the knowledge that it is a great way to save money, but a no less important reason is the philosophical aspect, which is consistent with efforts to promote more sustainable consumption practices that prioritize access over ownership. The sharing economy has become a subject of interest not only among researchers and practitioners but also among policymakers and stakeholders who are concerned about the further extension of digital ecosystems. Fortunately, theorists from many fields, such as the commercial economy, gift economy, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, etc., pay due attention to this phenomenon. However, there is still room for focused exploration of this entrepreneurial and innovative approach from specific views in order to bring useful findings and insights on given issues. The intention of this study is to analyze the existing related literature and categorize sharing economy-based business models in relation to traditional business models. Potentially, this study can also contribute to a better understanding of the perspectives of the sharing economy in the transition of SMEs towards the Industry 4.0 paradigm.

“…The transport sector accounts for 24% of global CO2 emissions, 29% of global energy demand, and 65% of the world total oil consumption [1]. Mobility problems are the result of numerous situations, among which the following can be highlighted: deterioration of air quality, mainly in urban areas [2], [3]; deterioration in health and life quality with reference to traffic noise [2]; traffic congestion, with the loss of productive time and its economic repercussion [4], [5], [6]; urban space destined to infrastructure for the circulation and parking of vehicles [4]; limited and expensive parking spaces [2]; long commuting distances that favour the use of the private vehicles; and seasonal concentration of tourism that results in oversized infrastructure. Changes in the transport sector must start in the cities with boosts for e-mobility transport systems powered by renewable electricity [7], [8].…”

“…Shared mobility is now a new means of transport [13], [15]. In 2018, Spain was home to the largest implementation of moped scooter-sharing services -with 35 % of the total world fleet [2]. Sharing has spread to many types of vehicles and free-floating scooter sharing could help improve the situations previously identified, and move us towards a more sustainable urban mobility.…”

“…Different types of scooters can be distinguished: scooters with a seat, also known as moped scooter or motorbikes, like the one described in [18] with a motor maximum power of 1.5 kW; light-moped or regular mopeds, with maximum legal speeds of 25 km/h and 45 km/h respectively [14], kick-style scooters [2] with maximum powers ranging from 250 W to 2 kW; bicycle-style electric scooters [19]; and mobility scooters for older people with walking difficulties [20]. All these, with the exception of mobility scooters, can be classified as powered two-wheelers (PTW) vehicles [21], and can use different types of energy sources: gasoline; liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); electricity from batteries; etc.…”

“…More environmentally-friendly urban means of transport include light electric vehicles (LEV), such as electric scooters and bikes [23], also known as light electric powered two-wheelers (LePTWs). These LePTW offer new urban smart mobility scenarios that reduce dependence on conventional combustion vehicles, while reducing noise and air pollution and traffic congestion [2], [19]. The use of this type of personal LePTW is widely accepted in an increasingly environmentally aware society, and their main uses are described in [24].…”

Photovoltaic Electric Scooter Charger Dock for the Development of Sustainable Mobility in Urban Environments

Means and modes of transport in urban environments are changing. The emergence of new means of personal transport, such as e-scooters or e-bikes, combined with new concepts such as 'vehicle sharing' are changing urban transport. A greater social awareness of the harmful effects of polluting gases is leading to the adoption of new e-mobility solutions. A sustainable e-scooter recharging dock has been designed, built, and put into operation in a small town north of the city of Valencia (Spain). In the proposed novel solution, a stand-alone PV system is built for the free recharge of e-scooters using an original system that supports new sustainable means of transport. The design of the PV system considers the size limitations of the equipment, where a single PV module must generate the energy needed to recharge the e-scooters. A battery is used to store the energy and adjust power generation and consumption profiles. A commercial electronic converter adjusts the various electrical characteristics of generation, storage, and consumption. As a result of the system analysis, the surplus autonomy provided for the e-scooter recharging dock is calculated. Potential stakeholders in the use of the proposed system and their reasons for adopting this sustainable solution are identified. Experimental results of the first months of operation are included and these demonstrate the correct operation of the proposed system. INDEX TERMS E-scooter charger dock, photovoltaic energy, sustainable mobility, e-mobility solutions, stand-alone photovoltaic system.
