Abstract

Governments' actions to protect the environment along with firms' commitment to green corporate social responsibility facilitated the emergence of new technologies, products and business models. Sales of electric vehicles and e-scooters are growing, including an increased use of e-scooter sharing services. This study analyses the intention to use electric scooters through an online survey. Based on the technological acceptance model and theory of reasoned action, a set of variables has been incorporated in order to explore the full context of this innovative technology. The research hypotheses are contrasted through partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of the analysis reveal perceived value, security and technophilia as the main determinants of intention to use e-scooters. A series of managerial implications are also discussed.
