Abstract:
This study examines the role of electric scooters (e-scooters) in Bengaluru’s Smart City vision. It explores the rising number of people having e-scooters in Bengaluru and how this Silicon Valley city of Karnataka maintains its legacy as a garden city by focusing on its role in enhancing sustainable urban mobility. The research aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) 11 Target 11.2, which promotes inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities. Amid growing concerns over traffic congestion, rising fuel costs, and environmental degradation, e-scooters seem to offer a viable option for short-distance urban transportation. This research also delves into how Bengaluru’s residents embrace e-scooters, evaluates their feasibility, and assesses their environmental impact. The study employs a quantitative research design, and it surveyed 81 residents of Bengaluru primarily youth aged 18-24 years old and young adults aged 25-35. Both groups are regarded as essential for the future of sustainable mobility due to their significant impact on the adoption of technology and environmental awareness (United Nations, 2020; WHO, 2020). This research investigates whether e-scooters represent a shift towards electric mobility in urban areas. As a smart city, Bengaluru is characterized by innovation, technology, and a significant emphasis on sustainability. Furthermore, the research analyses current market dynamics to pinpoint areas for growth and assess the potential of e-scooters in aiding long-term sustainability objectives by evaluating their availability, affordability, and connectivity. In conclusion, the study stresses the significance of data-informed urban planning to facilitate electric mobility as a feasible and eco-friendly transportation alternative in Indian cities.
