This paper evaluates a priori acceptance of shared dockless e-scooters in Iran using the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The proposed extended model includes subjective norms, hedonic motivation, and environmental awareness in the acceptance of e-scooters in addition to the original TAM constructs. Also, two open-ended questions were proposed to assess the role of control beliefs. Data were collected from an online survey of 1078 participants. Structural Equation Modeling was used to evaluate the proposed model. Besides the original TAM constructs, subjective norms were found to be the strongest predictor of intention. Environmental awareness was also a significant predictor. Results from open-ended questions revealed that most participants believed using e-scooters instead of motorcycles and private cars on short-distance trips could help the environment, and its positive effects outweigh their disadvantages. On the other hand, the lack of specific rules in their use and safety-related issues are the main barriers.

本文使用扩展技术接受模型 (TAM) 评估了伊朗对共享无桩电动滑板车的先验接受程度。提议的扩展模型除了原始 TAM 结构外，还包括主观规范、享乐动机和电动滑板车接受度方面的环境意识。此外，还提出了两个开放式问题来评估控制信念的作用。数据来自对 1078 名参与者的在线调查。结构方程模型用于评估所提出的模型。除了原始的 TAM 结构外，主观规范被发现是意图的最强预测因子。环境意识也是一个重要的预测因素。开放式问题的结果显示，大多数参与者认为在短途旅行中使用电动滑板车代替摩托车和私家车可以帮助保护环境，其积极影响超过了他们的不利影响。另一方面，缺乏具体的使用规则和安全相关问题是主要障碍。
