I am trying to tag a dedicated parking with several parking slots for (shared) scooters. How to tag this?

Somewhere else this was discussed:

for kick-scooter:
Tag:amenity=kick-scooter_parking – OpenStreetMap Wiki
Thank you. I will settle for amenity=escooter_parking.

Are your sure that this area is for shared electric scooters only? Isn’t it more an area for shared vehicles of different kind, e. g. also for shared bicycles? amenity=mobility_hub is made for this purpose.
For the case it’s really a designated spot for scooters: Personally, I’m using amenity=small_electric_vehicle_parking for this. Doesn’t look nice, but consequently follows our convention how we tag parking facilities (like bicycle_parking, motorcycle_parking etc.) - see Key:small_electric_vehicle - OpenStreetMap Wiki.
Thank you Supaplex030. Both options are valuable alternatives to consider. In my city (Rotterdam-NL) these parking hubs are specifically created to facilitate parking just for (shared) e-scooters and (shared) cargo-bikes (cargo usually being children). In practice it’s mostly used for e-scooters. (shared) regular bikes use bike-parking stands, available in abundance. For now I will continue to use the amenity=escooter_parking tagging as I feel this is the best fit.
It’s unclear what =mobility_hub should cover. There’s overlap with public_transport= =station or =stop_area / =stop_area_group , different =parking / =*_parking or =*_rental, and intermodal interchanges or transit centers. Fundamentally, I won’t call a row of parking spots to be a “hub”. On the terminology, “mobility” is a technical concept, as compared to mere “transport”.

There’s amenity=kick-scooter_rental.
The wiki suggests not really; usage is small and localised. However, tagging of these features is a mess; when I looked in the UK and IE a year or so ago I came up with this list (although at least one of those combinations is thankfully no longer in use).
Despite the higher usage, I’m guessing that these are technicality e-scooters rather than kick-scooters?
