Abstract While the legalisation of and policies around e-scooters remain the cause of much debate worldwide, this article sheds lights on e-scooter users’ current practices and their interactions with pedestrians in the city. Taking an ethnomethodological approach to public space and mobility, we use video recordings of e-scooter riders to show, firstly, how riders dismount and then move to acquire rights to continue moving, thereby ‘playing’ with traffic rules, in order to weave rapidly through congested urban environments. Secondly, we examine how e-scooter riders and pedestrians deal with the potentially unexpected appearance of e-scooters via displays of attention, adjustments of speed, and the relative rights and obligations established via category-relevant spaces. The findings offer insights into the integration of e-scooters as one of what may be many new forms of electric powered micro-mobility in urban space.

关于电动滑板车用户在公共场所的行为和表现的注意事项

摘要 虽然电动滑板车的合法化和相关政策仍然是世界范围内争论不休的原因，但本文阐明了电动滑板车用户的当前做法以及他们与城市行人的互动。我们对公共空间和移动性采取民族方法学的方法，通过电动滑板车骑手的视频记录，首先展示骑手如何下车然后移动以获得继续移动的权利，从而“玩”交通规则，以便快速编织通过拥挤的城市环境。其次，我们研究了电动滑板车骑手和行人如何通过展示注意力、调整速度以及通过类别相关空间建立的相对权利和义务来应对电动滑板车的潜在意外外观。
