Abstract

This paper presents the actual situation and the background on micromobility and e-scoooter research and their operations in cities especially during the pandemic. To better understand the reasons for use and the current implications a large scale representative survey has been conducted in Munich. As micromobility cannot be considered isolated, the results focus on urban mobility and the integration of micromobility into the overall context especially looking into usage before and after the pandemic, user preferences, safety and specific user segments. Although tourism is not the focus of this survey, it is argued that the use of specific modes at home and being accustomed to, will positively influence mode use abroad as a tourist as well. Consequently, the article discusses and interprets e-scooter findings and derives recommendations for sustainable city planning as well as for tourism and leisure.
