One of the opportunities provided by the smart city is the development of micro-mobility and sharing services; contributing to the optimization of transport flows and decreasing carbon footprints. This study investigates the factors affecting the development of e-scooter sharing services and the attitudes of young urban residents towards using these services. The research applied a PLS-SEM (partial least squares structural equation modeling) analysis performed in SmartPLS3.7 software. The data were collected via focus groups and surveying a population aged 18\u201335. The authors partially based the research on the UTAUT model (the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology), taking such constructs as \u201cintention to use\u201d, \u201canxiety\u201d, \u201cattitude toward use\u201d, \u201ceffort expectancy\u201d, and \u201csocial influence\u201d; they also introduced the new unique variables \u201cinternal uncertainty\u201d, \u201ce-scooter design\u201d, \u201cexperience\u201d, \u201cperceived safety\u201d, \u201cinfrastructure quality\u201d, and \u201cmotivation to physical activity\u201d. The main finding of the study was determining that the latent variables attitude towards sharing, anxiety, internal uncertainty, JTBD (jobs to be done), and new way of thinking have a direct or indirect effect on the intention to ride e-scooters in the future and\/or to use sharing services. The obtained results permit making recommendations to businesses, municipal authorities, and other stakeholders on developing e-scooter sharing services as a contribution to the advancement of the smart city.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/informatics9020036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]],"date-time":"2022-04-23T08:14:06Z","timestamp":1650701646000},"page":"36","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Aspects of E-Scooter Sharing in the Smart City"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8034-5935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yelena","family":"Popova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Transport and Telecommunication Institute, 1 Lomonosov Str., LV1019 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7269-5468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana","family":"Zagulova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baltic International Academy, 4 Lomonosov Str., LV1003 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102734","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trd.2021.102734","article-title":"The role of micro-mobility in shaping sustainable cities: A systematic literature review","volume":"92","author":"Abduljabbar","year":"2021","journal-title":"Transp.
