“…They also specified certain technical requirements relating to the braking system, lights, and maximum speed and to safety issues, such as the obligation to wear a helmet and the minimum age of riders [21]. Turoń and Czech [74] provide an overview of the various e-scooter policies applied in Europe and in the United States. In Austria, for instance, e-scooters are treated as bicycles [21], whereas in Germany, they are classified as motor vehicles, but they are not subject to all the rules applicable to a motor vehicle [6].…”

“…In Austria, for instance, e-scooters are treated as bicycles [21], whereas in Germany, they are classified as motor vehicles, but they are not subject to all the rules applicable to a motor vehicle [6]. In the United Kingdom, e-scooters must meet all requirements of a motor vehicle, such as licensing, number plates, and signaling devices [74]. As a result, riding e-scooters on streets and pavements in the UK was prohibited until July 2020, when the first shared e-scooter trials were launched in response to the coronavirus pandemic.…”

Shared e-scooters refer to a micro-mobility service that enables the short rentals of e-scooters. The rapid growth of e-scooter sharing has sparked a heated discussion about its role in the urban mobility sector. This article presents a systematic review of the current knowledge on its uses and users, health and environmental impacts, and policy issues. The analysis is based on academic literature, identified with Google Scholar by using keywords and publication years from 2017, and relevant gray literature. Firstly, we highlight that the profiles of e-scooter renters seem to highly match the characteristics of other micro-mobility services users. Secondly, e-scooters are often associated with a high perception of risk from the public and an increasing occurrence of related road accidents. Thirdly, even if promoted as a green mobility option, the true environmental impact of shared e-scooters has only started to be investigated. Early studies point out negative impacts around their production, usage, and maintenance. Fourthly, the integration of shared e-scooters into the existing transport systems requires policy changes, both at the local and national level, including traffic regulations, safety rules, and physical infrastructure. Finally, this paper reveals the ambiguity of the term “e-scooter” and stresses the need for more research, as the future of cities is tied to the development of low-car lifestyles.

In this paper, a review of the main actions and policies that can be implemented to promote sustainable mobility is proposed. The work aims to provide a broad, albeit necessarily not exhaustive, analysis of the main studies and research that from different points of view have focused on sustainable mobility. The structure of the paper enables the reader to easily identify the topics covered and the studies related to them, so as to guide him/her to the related in-depth studies. In the first part of the paper, there is a preliminary analysis of the concept of sustainable mobility, the main transport policies implemented by the European Union and the USA, and the main statistical data useful to analyze the problem. Next, the main policies that can promote sustainable mobility are examined, classifying them into three topics: Environmental, socio-economic, and technological. Many of the policies and actions examined could be classified into more than one of the three categories used; for each of them, there is a description and the main literature work on which the topic can be analyzed in more detail. The paper concludes with a discussion on the results obtained and the prospects for research.

“…First, changes have been made to bike-sharing and car-sharing fleets by supplementing them with electric vehicles [5,6]. Electric scooter sharing systems and e-mopeds were then successively introduced to the market [7]. The shared mobility timeline, taking into account the breakthrough points related to the inauguration of electrical systems, is presented in Figure 1.…”

A Holistic Approach to Electric Shared Mobility Systems Development—Modelling and Optimization Aspects

Due to the development of the shared economy, increasingly more shared mobility providers have launched services based on the use of electric vehicles. The increasing growth of electric shared mobility services has produced various types of problems that do not occur (or occur with a limited effect) under conventional shared mobility systems. This increase in electric shared mobility problems has led to many effects, including limitations of the system zones or going out of business. To avoid difficulties in the functioning of electric shared mobility systems, various scientific studies have been undertaken to model and optimize the operation of these systems. Modeling and optimization mainly relate to one category of the system—for example, only to bike sharing. However, to understand the system of electric shared mobility holistically, there is a need to define the criteria generally as stimulants or destimulants. Based on these assumptions, we conducted research on the identification of factors influencing the development of electric shared mobility services. We conducted our own expert research based on the Social Network Analysis method. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence the development or recession of services in the entire electric shared mobility market in reference to selected stakeholders. The obtained results indicate a non-standard approach to the modeling and optimization of electric shared mobility services. This study could be used as support for creating electric shared mobility models and could also be helpful for service providers or local mobility managers through the developed recommendations.
