Definition:

The E-Scooter-sharing market comprises e-scooter-sharing services that provide short-term rentals of electric motorized scooters (stand-up scooters). In e-scooter-sharing, scooters are generally owned by an e-scooter-sharing provider and can be reserved independently by customers around the clock. Customers are required to open an account with the e-scooter-sharing provider and can then reserve the vehicles, typically with a smartphone app. Providers normally offer dockless services, so it is possible to find e-scooters everywhere within the provider’s business zone, e.g., on sidewalks, and to leave the scooters anywhere in accordance with traffic regulations. Moped-sharing services are not available in all countries; thus, only a limited number of countries and regions can be selected.
