| Summary: | Introduction: The present article focuses on a prime example of electric micromobility, the electric scooter, and its relationship with physical activity. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Scopus, Wos, PubMed and TRID databases. Results: The use of electric scooters seemed to be associated with lower levels of physical activity, although the analyses and methods employed require further exploration. Conclusions: Future lines of research are proposed based on these results, contributing to building awareness of this relevant field of study. Notable among the topics to be developed are the broadening of methodological approaches by including more powerful qualitative research techniques. They would allow in-depth studies to examine the perceptions and evaluations of electric scooter users, contributing to a deeper understanding of their relationship with users’ physical activity habits. |
