E-scooter sharing is a transportation service offering electric scooters for short-term public use. This service includes providing users a way to locate and unlock e-scooters using a mobile app, ride them to their destination, and then park them in designated areas. E-scooter sharing is a convenient and environmentally friendly way to travel short distances in urban areas, providing an alternative to cars and public transportation.
The primary categories of e-scooter sharing include free-floating and station-bound models. In free-floating e-scooter sharing, scooters are not tethered to designated stations but can be found, unlocked, and rented from anywhere within a specified service area via a mobile app. Distribution channels cater to both personal and commercial end users, encompassing online and offline platforms.

The E-scooter sharing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.33 billion in 2024 to $1.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urbanization, last-mile connectivity, mobile technology, investment and funding and shift towards sustainable transportation.
The E-scooter sharing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion into new markets, diversification of services, improvement in user experience, smart city initiatives, and micromobility hubs. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion into suburban and rural areas, dockless charging stations, subscription-based services, adoption of artificial intelligence and partnerships with local businesses.
The growing levels of greenhouse gases and carbon emissions are expected to drive the expansion of the e-scooter-sharing market. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to global warming, while carbon emissions primarily result from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. These emissions are largely caused by human activities like fuel combustion, deforestation, industrial processes, and agriculture. E-scooter-sharing services can help mitigate carbon emissions by promoting sustainable transport options, reducing car dependency, enhancing last-mile connectivity, encouraging shifts to more eco-friendly transportation modes, and decreasing energy consumption. For example, the International Energy Agency reported in August 2024 that global CO2 emissions from fuel combustion rose by 1.3% in 2022, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. China and the United States were responsible for 45% of these emissions, with the European Union, India, Russia, and Japan following. As a result, the increasing emissions of greenhouse gases and carbon are fueling the growth of the e-scooter-sharing market.
Leading companies in the e-scooter-sharing market are working on creating innovative services, such as shared mobility solutions, to improve the user experience and enhance operational efficiency. Shared mobility services involve the use of vehicles or rides that are shared among multiple users. This includes car-sharing, bike-sharing, and ride-hailing services, all aimed at reducing individual car ownership and encouraging sustainable transportation options. For example, in April 2022, Dott, a micromobility company based in the Netherlands, introduced its shared e-scooter service in Stockholm, Sweden. The fleet of 1,500 e-scooters offers a unique mobility option designed with safety and convenience in mind. Key features include large wheels, full lighting (front, rear, and indicators), triple braking, and license plates. The e-scooters are managed by a software system that limits the speed to 20 km/h and includes slow and no-ride zones. The Dott app also provides e-learning modules to promote responsible riding, ensuring both safety and a smooth travel experience for users in Stockholm.
In September 2023, Bird Global Inc. acquired Spin for $19 million, aiming to bolster its market share and presence in micro-mobility. This acquisition positions Bird Global to expand operations in key cities such as Baltimore, Salt Lake City, and Washington D.C., leveraging Spin's expertise in electric bicycle and scooter sharing.
