However, the growth of electric moped scooter sharing services raises the question of how environmentally friendly this business model is, considering the entire lifecycle. Due to the dynamic market and insufficient availability of public data on the business processes of sharing services only a few studies on the impact of shared electric mopeds are available. Especially there is a lack of research on the impacts of key operational logistic parameters of the sharing system. This paper aims to fill this gap by conducting a life cycle assessment using the example of an electric moped scooter manufactured and used in sharing services in Germany, based on different operating scenarios. The results show that e-moped sharing has a similar environmental impact on global warming potential, in terms of passenger kilometers, as public transport, especially if long product lifetimes as well as efficient operation logistics are realized.

  • Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders Motorcycle, for Scootermoped and Improving Safety Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders
    Improving SafetyImproving and forScooter Moped Motorcycle, Riders Improving Safety for Motorcycle, Scooter and Moped Riders The global fleet of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) is constantly increasing. In many countries, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds play a significant role in mobility, particularly in many of the world’s large cities. As such, PTWs are becoming an important component of the transport system. However, they represent an important challenge for road safety. PTW riders are at far more risk than car drivers per kilometre ridden in terms of fatalities and severe injuries entailing long-term disability. Moreover, they have not benefited from safety improvements at the same pace as car occupants over recent decades. Addressing the issue of PTW safety is thus an essential contribution to the success of the United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety, which aims at halving the expected number of road deaths worldwide by 2020. This report reviews recent trends in powered two-wheeler crashes, the factors contributing to these crashes and their severity. It describes a set of countermeasures targeting user behaviours, the use of protective equipment, the vehicles and the infrastructure. Finally, it discusses motorcycle safety strategies in the context of a safe system.

Nevertheless, research contributions are still limited, unlike other shared mobility systems. This paper is aimed at providing a first insight on moped sharing demand by exploring the usage and opinions towards this new mobility alternative. To that end, the research exploits the data from a web-based survey conducted in Spain, one of the countries with the largest implementation around the world in terms of the shared e-mopeds fleet. Kruskal–Wallis tests were conducted to identify the segment of the urban population that is more likely adopted moped sharing, and additional statistical mean differences in specific variables concerning moped sharing were carried out. The paper also provides a better understanding of the shared mopeds market and some implications for urban mobility, such as the potential role of shared mopeds in reducing Citation: Aguilera-García, Á.; vehicle ownership and its effect on urban modal shift.

  • Motorized Scooters, Pocket Bikes and Low Speed Electric Bicylces
    CORRESPONDENCE MEMORANDUM Wisconsin Department of Transportation DT1175 97 Date: May 31, 2005 From: John J. Sobotik and Paul E. Nilsen, Assistants General Counsel, WisDOT Subject: Motorized Scooters, Pocket Bikes and Low Speed Electric Bicycles I. INTRODUCTION For the past few years, a wide variety of small, inexpensive motorized scooters have been distributed widely throughout the United States. We intend this memo to answer questions about their treatment under current Wisconsin law. This memo updates and replaces earlier memos on motorized scooters issued by this office1. This memo offers no opinion as to the public policy underlying the statutes applicable to motorized scooters, but only summarizes current law. II. WHAT IS A MOTORIZED SCOOTER? Wisconsin statutes do not define “motorized scooter.” In general, a “motorized scooter” is a vehicle that is designed to be stood or sat upon by the operator and that has two small-diameter wheels in tandem, upright t-shaped handlebars, and is powered by an internal-combustion engine or electric motor that is capable of propelling the device with or without human propulsion. Top speeds are generally 8-20 miles per hour. They can be “souped up” to run at up to 40 miles per hour. Do not confuse motorized scooters with mopeds or “low-speed electric bicycles.” Mopeds, of course, can be operated lawfully on public roads. A “moped” is usually a Type 1 motorcycle that is incapable of speeds faster than 30 miles per hour, is equipped with an automatic transmission, an engine certified by the manufacturer at not more than 50 cubic centimeters or an equivalent power unit, and a seat for the operator.
