Abstract: Electric scooters (e-scooters) are becoming an important component of urban transport, particularly in rapidly developing economies where demand for low-cost and sustainable mobility is high. This paper explores how consumers in such regions perceive and use e-scooters, focusing on demographic influences, decision-making factors, satisfaction levels, and barriers to wider adoption. A primary survey of 200 respondents was conducted in urban and semi-urban locations. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and comparative models of consumer perception. Results indicate that affordability, convenience in congested cities, and government incentives are the strongest motivators.
