Due to the current environmental and traffic-related problems of motorized individual traffic
(MIV), the importance of new, flexibly usable mobility systems is growing. Therefore, in the
course of this bachelor’s thesis, the Bike Sharing and Shared E-Scooter systems were studied in
order to get a more precise impression of the users of these systems. The goal of this bachelor
thesis is to identify users of shared mobility systems such as bike sharing and shared e-scooters
with their characteristics and features in order to create user profiles. This ultimately serves to
identify potential users of these modes of transport, which leads to the following research question:
Which similarities and differences, be it in behavioral, attitude, psychographic or
sociodemographic profiles, can be identified and typified between bike sharing users
and shared e-scooter users?
To answer the research question, starting with a literature review, insights were gathered into the
relevance of the two shared mobility systems as well as the characteristics, motivations of users
and barriers of non-users. Furthermore, this served as a comparison of the current providers of
shared bikes and shared e-scooters in Munich. Subsequently, the data of an already existing survey
regarding bike sharing, shared e-scooters and micromobility users and non-users was evaluated.
Tests were conducted with regard to sociodemographic, psychographic, behavioral and attitudinal
parameters in order to identify significances. The significant parameters were then used to create
models that will ultimately be used to predict users and non-users of the different classifications
and thus identify potential users. In particular, the results show that bike sharing and shared
e-scooters have a number of psychographic, behavioral and attitude-related similarities, which
will be discussed in more detail in the course of this thesis. Furthermore, it was found that the
sociodemographic parameters of the users of the shared e-scooters did not show any significance
in contrast to the bike sharing users.
