Since the introduction of the internal combustion engine (ICE), modern mobility has fundamentally changed. Today, it is impossible to imagine modern transportation without motorized vehicles. Powered Two-Wheelers (PTWs) represent a relevant section of such vehicles. In recent years, electric low-powered PTWs, also called e-scooters, became a notable trend. Without excessive emissions and noise, as well as convenient dimensions, e-scooters can help European cities ease their increasing problems with traffic, emissions, and parking. In this paper, we present the results of a real-life field test, performed in the City of Munich, Germany. By providing six vehicles, 38 subjects were able to incorporate an e-scooter into their everyday lives. Recorded with travel diaries and a pre-post-survey, usage and attitudes were evaluated. Results show that a majority of daily trips is suitable for e-scooters and charging infrastructure is sufficient for this kind of vehicle, while subjective safety, weather conditions, and baggage capacity are restricting attributes.     «
