Private e-scooters used to save time and money on commutes, study finds

Privately owned e-scooters are increasingly being used by commuters in Perth to save both time and money, according to the first study of its kind in the city. The research highlights that owners are primarily opting for e-scooters as a practical solution for their daily journeys to work.

Beyond the expected user base, the study uncovered a notable trend: a significant number of older individuals are also embracing e-scooters. This finding challenges common perceptions and suggests that e-scooters are appealing to a broader demographic than previously assumed, driven by their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The findings underscore the growing role of e-scooters as a viable and popular mode of transport, particularly for those seeking economical and time-saving alternatives for their commutes. The study provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of urban mobility in Perth.
