The discourse on global sustainability strategies, particularly within the realm of mobility, is pervasive in academic literature. A focal point revolves around the endeavour to curtail emissions, recognizing that technological solutions alone are insufficient to ameliorate the adverse consequences of urban traffic. In this context, alternatives such as e-bikes and e-scooters emerge as promising avenues for fostering a more efficient and environmentally conscientious urban commute. This article undertakes a nuanced examination of the intricacies associated with integrating electric scooters into urban transportation networks. It delves into the intricate interplay between users' residential locations, the intended purposes of e-scooter usage, the modes of transportation replaced by them, and some of their integration features within the Hungarian context. Drawing insights from a comprehensive questionnaire involving 292 Hungarian e-scooter users, our findings underscore a unanimous discontent with prevailing regulatory frameworks irrespective of the respondents' residential areas. Despite this overarching dissatisfaction, an intriguing revelation surfaces regarding the profound influence of residential locale on the utilization patterns of other modes of transportation. Intriguingly, no discernible correlation emerges between users' residential locations and the intended purposes for which e-scooters are employed. In essence, this research not only unveils the prevalent dissatisfaction with existing regulations but also accentuates the pivotal role of residential context in shaping broader transportation preferences. In conclusion, the outcomes of this study furnish insights for policymakers endeavouring to seamlessly integrate electric scooters into urban landscapes. The imperative for strategies tailored to distinct user demographics becomes evident, signifying the need for nuanced and context-specific approaches in fostering sustainable urban mobility.
