Shared e-scooter systems are operating across hundreds of cities worldwide. However, limited understanding of the user demand, as well as how this demand varies across individuals with various transportation preferences living in different urban contexts, is a key barrier to developing policy and regulations. This paper begins to close this gap by providing preliminary but novel insights into the socio-demographic, attitudinal and built-environment characteristics of potential users of shared e-scooters. In particular, we examine the self-reported intention to consider shared e-scooters by residents in Toronto and surrounding municipalities in Canada. Based on an online survey of 1,640 adults living in 17 neighbourhoods, we found that 21% were amenable to considering e-scooters for some of their current trips, and the majority would replace their existing walking (60%) and transit (55%) trips with shared e-scooters. Weighted logistic regression models revealed that all else being equal, preference toward trip efficiency, and environment and health-consciousness, were positively associated with potential e-scooter consideration. Perceived walkability/bikability and street safety also increased the likelihood of considering shared e-scooter in future. The findings begin to identify who will likely benefit from this micro-mobility option and where the impacts will be felt the most.

共享的电动踏板车系统在全球数百个城市中运行。然而，对用户需求以及对需求的了解程度有限，这取决于生活在不同城市环境中的各种交通偏好的个人，这是制定政策和法规的主要障碍。本文通过提供共享电动滑板车潜在用户的社会人口统计学，态度和建筑环境特征的初步但新颖的见解，开始缩小这一差距。特别是，我们检查了自我报告的意图，以考虑多伦多居民和加拿大周围市政当局共享的电动踏板车。根据对居住在17个街区的1,640名成年人的在线调查，我们发现21％的人愿意将电动滑板车用于当前的某些旅行，并且大多数将使用共享的电动踏板车代替现有的步行（60％）和公交（55％）旅行。加权逻辑回归模型显示，所有其他条件相同，对出行效率的偏爱，环境和健康意识与潜在的电动踏板车正相关。感知的步行/可骑行性和街道安全性也增加了将来考虑使用共享电动踏板车的可能性。研究结果开始确定谁将可能从这种微型交通方案中受益，以及在哪些方面受到的影响最大。与潜在的电动踏板车考虑成正相关。感知的步行/可骑行性和街道安全性也增加了将来考虑使用共享电动踏板车的可能性。研究结果开始确定哪些人可能会从这种微型交通方案中受益，以及在哪些方面受到的影响最大。与潜在的电动踏板车考虑成正相关。感知的步行/可骑行性和街道安全性也增加了将来考虑使用共享电动踏板车的可能性。研究结果开始确定谁将可能从这种微型交通方案中受益，以及在哪些方面受到的影响最大。
