A NTUA Diploma Thesis titled “Critical factors of safe micromobility in Greece” was recently presented by Anestis Gkiourtzidis. For this purpose, descriptive analysis was conducted on a sample of 63 electric scooter users, and 9 binomial logistic regression models were developed based on data from the third edition of the international ESRA survey (E-Survey on Road Users’ Attitudes). The results showed that older users and those who recognize risks such as speed and lack of attention adopt safer practices. Social pressure within an area influences compliance with road safety rules, while women demonstrate more cautious behavior compared to men. Despite the mandatory use of helmets, many users do not comply, indicating the need for stricter enforcement and education. Based on the findings, several recommendations are proposed to improve the road safety of electric scooter users, including stricter law enforcement and targeted improvements to road infrastructure.
