摘 要：Due to the less stringent emission technology requirement,motorized two and three-wheelers(2&3W)generate more pollutants than *** 20%of the world s registered motorcycles are known to be in *** pollution is one of the major causes of death and health problems in *** electrification of transportation provides an opportunity for E2&3W in *** assess this transition,this study quantifies the number of E2&3W present in some African *** of electric vehicle start-ups,drivers,and owner experiences are used to determine the E2&3W s technical feasibility and ability to compete with petrol scooters(p-scooters).SimaPro 9.4 software together with Ecoinvent 3.8 database was used to conduct a cradle-to-the-grave analysis of the environmental impact of using electric scooters(e-scooters).The research found that Africa s E2&3W s have a 0.2%market share compared to gasoline *** main disadvantage of e-scooters is their limited range and battery *** average range and speed are 50 km and 50 km/h,*** of E2&3W caused damage to traction motors and was of major concern to *** main advantages of E2&3W are their low operating costs and low environmental *** South Africa,the total environmental impact of e-scooters outweighed that of *** that have a direct impact on human health,were significantly lower for e-scooters than for *** lack of battery performance standards,battery swapping station standards,and charging station standards negatively affects the quality of imported *** countries need to implement electric vehicle standards,and battery recycling policies,and establish electric vehicle training and research centers.
