The introduction of e‐scooters into the urban transport landscape has led to speculation regarding their potential to support transitions to healthy, sustainable and equitable urban mobility. This paper explores similarities between e‐scooter use and cycling in terms of user demographics and competencies required. We draw on data from a 2019 survey of users and non‐users of e‐scooters. Cycling experience is not strongly related to e‐scooter use or self‐reported competence. E‐scooters seem to appeal to a broader demographic than cycling. E‐scooter users are more likely to be young, able or male, raising questions surrounding equity of this emerging mode.

相识又有差别？在快速变化的城市交通环境中骑自行车和电动摩托车

将电动滑板车引入城市交通领域后，人们开始猜测其在支持向健康，可持续和公平的城市交通过渡方面的潜力。本文探讨了电动踏板车的使用与骑行之间的相似之处，包括用户的人口统计特点和所需的能力。我们借鉴了2019年对电动踏板车用户和非使用者的调查数据。骑自行车的经历与电动踏板车的使用或自我报告的能力没有太大关系。电动踏板车似乎比自行车运动更吸引人口。电动踏板车用户更可能是年轻，有能力或男性，这引发了人们对这种新兴模式公平性的质疑。
