Microcars in the shared mobility system

Abstract

Shared mobility is developing very dynamically. It includes low- -emission cars and electric-powered micro-mobility transport means, such as: scooters, bicycles as well as micro-cars. It is assumed that a system of shared electric microcars, like scooters and bicycles, should overcome environmental problems such as noise or air pollution, parking and traffic problems. Electric microcars combine the positive features of cars with the advantages of such micro-mobility means of transport, such as electric scooters, bicycles, providing their users with a comfortable and individual form of transport. Micro cars can be an economical means of transport and their popularization in the car rental service is possible, although it is still at an early stage of development. The article is a review and its main aim is to show the potential and possibilities of using electric microcars as tools for shared mobility in cities. The article ends with a summary.
