Abstract

Shared micro-mobility services enable travelers to have access to a collection of personal transportation vehicles. This study examines the willingness of introducing their own private scooter into scooter-sharing services by scooter owners and adapts the attitude, user experiences (UX), and behavioral intention to investigate the factors that may influence scooter owner acceptance of scooter sharing services. The data were collected from Taiwanese scooter owners’ feedback on the questionnaire (n = 266). The results indicate that the model constructs of attitude toward scooters as a great means of transportation, UX with shared scooter service, and behavioral intention toward shared scooter services may positively affect private vehicle owners’ willingness to introduce their own scooter into sharing services, while attitude toward scooters meeting the transportation needs may negatively affect their willingness. In light of the findings, recommendations for increasing the willingness of private vehicle owners to introduce their own vehicle into sharing services and a reference basis for the development of future shared vehicle services are provided.
