Use of micromobility is on rise globally. However, it is important to understand the dynamics behind the choices of micromobility vehicles over other alternatives in order to develop policies and regulations. So, the first part of the chapter explores the choice theory. The theory behind the transportation mode choices is Discrete Choice Theory. It has a stochastic nature, and its mathematical background is given in this chapter. It is based on the assumption that individuals in the society aim to maximize their utilities while choosing a mode. Under the Discrete Choice Model family, different models exist to explain the choice behavior. The second part of the chapter Is about the acceptance of e-scooters by the society. One of the main issues about the acceptance is the number of accidents where e-scooters are involved. Other issues are readiness levels of the societies to new technologies, which differ between the society segments, and parking solutions. This chapter also provides information about the trip purposes of micromobility trips, such as recreation or short-distance trips, and shows usage differences between countries.
