Electric‑powered micro personal mobility vehicles (e‑PMVs) such as e‑bikes and e‑scooters have rapidly expanded worldwide, attracting scholarly and practitioner attention because of numerous operational and societal issues, and the volume of related research has grown sharply over the past five years. The study aims to review and assess the current literature on e‑PMV impacts from multiple perspectives to identify gaps and inform future development. Using the PRIMA framework, the authors retrieved and analyzed 90 studies from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar (2014‑2020), classifying issues into endogenous (transport and urban planning) and exogenous (safety and environment) categories. The review reveals that although many issues have been studied, several key areas still require significant improvement.
Nowadays, the diffusion of electric-powered micro Personal Mobility Vehicles (e-PMVs) worldwide—i.e., e-bikes, e-scooters, and self-balancing vehicles—has disrupted the urban transport sector. Furthermore, this topic has captured many scholars and practitioners’ interest due to multiple issues related to their use. Over the past five years, there has been strong growth in the publication of e-PMV studies. This paper reviews the existing literature by identifying several issues on the impact that e-PMVs produce from different perspectives. More precisely, by using the PRIMA’s methodological approach and well-known scientific repositories (i.e., Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar), 90 studies between 2014 and 2020 were retrieved and analyzed. An overview and classification into endogenous issues (e.g., impact on transport and urban planning) and exogenous issues (e.g., impact on safety and the environment) are provided. While several issues are deeply investigated, the findings suggest that some others need many improvements. Therefore, the status quo of these studies is being assessed to support possible future developments.
