It’s not so surprising that walking emits less CO2 than an e-scooter, but still better than cars.
Make cities nicer to walk in, and people won’t use shared e-scooter.
Probably worth pointing out here that the article is certainly not against “shared micromobility” – rather they suggest better integration with public transport to incentivise its use and make it more efficient. And they say that privately owned micromobility is even better.
[This graph ](https://imgur.com/a/5NwIQvs)from the article ranks the different modes in terms of emissions per km travelled, from worst to best. The order is, predictably : Personal car > Shared e-scooter > Shared e-bike > Public transport > Personal e-scooter > Personal e-bike > Personal bike.
As an aside, I’m guessing car owners are more likely to have the financial means to buy their own e-bikes/scooters, compared to those who would walk/cycle/take the bus and then turn to a shared e-bike/scooter. In the grander scheme of things, in terms of striking the balance between the environment and enhancing personal freedom of movement, that sounds like an argument for helping people to purchase their own (e-) bikes and scooters, more than anything else.
The main mode of transport replaced by e-scooters is walking, so this is hardly a surprise.
Because the only target they appeal to are people already walking and cycling…? Would have guessed so far.
I use escooter to get to my nearest shop – I buy groceries every other day. If I did not have it, I would buy a car and do groceries once per week.
The escooters are quite CO2 efficient despite the fact that technically speaking walking to the store would result in even less CO2.
I honestly hate those, I wish they would be banned.
People are leaving them everywhere and driving them with no regards. So annoying.
