Electric scooters, an innovative eco-friendly form of transportation, have gained increasing popularity in Korea since their sharing platforms were commercialized in 2018.
More and more people are choosing e-scooters for travelling short distances, as they are faster than going on foot and a better option than crowded public transport. Currently, over 60,000 devices from various operators are deployed in the capital area, a hike from around 150 in 2018, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
