"Urban Micromobility in Practice: Insights from a Full-Year Analysis of Shared Scooter Use in Tel Aviv" has been published in Smart Cities and is available online at the following link: https://lnkd.in/eR4VMNc2 in this paper we examined the spatiotemporal dynamics and accessibility implications of shared e-scooter use in Tel Aviv using a full year of city-wide trip data. By integrating millions of scooter trips with public transport accessibility, weather conditions, and calendar effects, the study reveals strong and regular temporal patterns shaped by daily and weekly urban routines. The findings show that demand is heavily concentrated in already well-connected central areas, with limited penetration into peripheral zones, suggesting that shared e-scooters currently function primarily as short-range, intra-core alternatives rather than effective first or last-mile solutions. The analysis highlights the risk that micromobility services may reinforce existing mobility hierarchies without targeted regulatory and infrastructure interventions.
