Public bicycle racks as future e-scooter hubs
The research
In the near future, E-scooters will be allowed on the dutch roads. Such e-scooters can cause a modal shift from other transport modes towards small scale electric alternatives for fossil fuel powered vehicles. Abroad, this outroll already took place and led to many problems due to it not being regulated. With scooters blocking sidewalks, increased cluttering of the public space and dangerous traffic situations, many problems arose. Especially in the cramped inner city of Amsterdam, there is no room for additional vehicles like e-scooters to be randomly parked on the sidewalks. Therefore, an alternative to free-floating e-scooters is researched. During this living lab, the potential of using existing bicycle racks in the Amsterdam city centre as e-scooter hubs is investigated.
