The Study investigates two European capitals, Berlin and Paris, to analyze their shared e-scooter services in four areas; e-scooter development, companies operating and their prices, organisation of the companies and their operation areas, the existing problems and which solutions the cities implemented to solve them. The data analyzed shows that Paris and Berlin achieved three different solutions to tackle existing problems caused by e-scooters."I.
