E-scooter users can reduce their CO2e impact most by replacing a trip by private car with a trip by e-scooter. This substitution leads to a reduction in CO2e emissions per passenger kilometer of 17.7 grams. However, replacing a walking or cycling trip will lead to an increase in emissions of 16.1 and 1.7 grams, respectively.

The calculation of the substitution effect includes scope 3 lifecycle emissions but does not include calorie consumption during usage.
*Average emission calculation based on ICCT data.
**Average emission calculation based on rail and bus emission data from Berlin-Brandenburg and the UK department for Business, Energy & Industrial Startegy.
***Average emission calculation based on the lifecycle emissions of the Bolt 6th generation e-scooter, assuming the Berlin energy mix.
**** Average emission calculation based on a study by Fraunhofer Institute.
