Abstract: The development of the electric mobility market in cities is becoming more and more important every year. With this development, more and more electric scooters are appearing in cities. Currently, the restrictions that result from the upcoming trends are reducing the number of vehicles powered by combustion engines in favor of vehicles equipped with electric motors. Considering the number of electric vehicles, the dominant type is an electric scooter. The aim of this article is to determine the CO 2 that is emitted into the atmosphere by using this type of vehicle. The main suppliers of this type of vehicle in cities are shared mobility systems. To recognize the research gap, consisting of the lack of CO 2 emissions of an electric scooter type vehicle, studies were carried out on the energy consumption of an electric scooter and CO 2 emissions, which were calculated based on the CO 2 emission value needed to produce a given energy value kWh. The plan of the research performed was developed on the basis of the D-optimal plan of the experiment, thanks to which the results could be saved in the form of mathematical models based on formulas.
