The study also aims to examine and discuss the ecological footprint and environmental gains of these micro-mobility tools on a scientific basis, especially by addressing the environmental sustainability dimensions of shared e-scooters. In the study the systematic review method was adopted and the relevant literature on was searched using seven academic databases with high national and international recognition and reliability: Academic Search Elite (EBSCO), ScienceDirect, SAGE Journals Online, Taylor & Francis Online, Emerald Premier, ProQuest - Science Database (ProQuest) and Google Scholar. The search was conducted using the keywords "Sharing Economy", "Sustainability", "Sustainable Development Goals", "Sustainable Transportation" and "Shared Electric Scooters" and covered the years 2008-2025 without any language restrictions. All the studies obtained were subjected to title and abstract, and then full text review, and at the end of the process, 90 academic studies that were found suitable for inclusion in the study were interpreted and integrated into the study. The results indicate that the shared usage model promoted by the sharing economy can contribute to sustainability and sustainable development by enabling more efficient and effective resource utilization. Adopting an access-based model instead of ownership-oriented approaches has been found to have the potential to generate significant environmental benefits in the context of sustainable transportation, particularly by reducing traffic congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and minimizing air pollution through shared e-scooter use. Furthermore, it is emphasized that, with appropriate infrastructure improvements and the implementation of regulatory policies, shared e-scooters could play a significant role in helping cities achieve their sustainability goals.}, number={29}, publisher={Dicle Üniversitesi}
