       @breadandcircusesOnce again this graph pops up, its hard to take it serisouly when a 15kg Escooter is seen as worse then a 2000kg ecar.

       I looked at TNMT site and then doublechecked detailed assumptions they listed:The following assumptions were applied (example: Tier, Bird, Lime):Load Factor: 1Life span: 540 days; 1,782 ridesWeight: 13kgFrame: Aerospace-grad aluminumTires: 22cm rubberPower: 30 lithium-ion batteries; capacity of 335 watthoursWeight of batteries: 2kgWeight of tires: 1kgRemaining weight: 10kgAvg. trip duration: 18 minutesAvg. rides per day: 3.3 tripsThe German electricity mix 2020 is used as a basis (in % of total):Lignite 16.8%Hard coal 7.3%Nuclear energy 12.5%Natural gas 12.1%Renewables 50.5%of whichWind energy 27%photovoltaics 10.4%biomass 9.3%Hydropower 3.7%Considering the examples, it is indeed the maintenance that makes the difference. For a network of pay-as-you-go kick-scooters the maintenance is quite intensive, as you need to find monitor them all and regularly pick them up in random places. For docked ones (which includes privately owned) the maintenance would probably be at the level of e-car or lass, giving them  1+35.7+4.4+25.5=66.6 g, between tram and gasoline scooter - much closer to intuitive assessment. I cannot but praise authors for presenting their assumptions and methodology, so anyone willing can understand how they arrived to their conclusions just in few minutes.

       @breadandcircuses I live in a small village, no public transport, and can't ride a bike. Hiring a pony and trap to do a weekly shop (16km away) would work - except that's hugely expensive. At least, it is at the moment. Hmm, opportunity. As long as you don't live in Dallas.

       This is an opportunity indeed. Perhaps a shared (co-operative or community owned) slow-lane electric vehicle (some of those, enclosed version: https://www.marshell.net/shuttle-bus/) would do the job.

       @8petros @breadandcircuses Ages ago (February 1999 to be precise) I encountered a small  electric shuttle bus with a PV roof. Ah, the hopes of yesteryear. We need more Yélo. https://yelo.agglo-larochelle.fr/services/
