Abstract

Objectives. To examine protective and risky behaviors among micromobility users, including bicyclists, moped riders, and e-scooter users. Methods. We analyzed data from a nationally representative survey (conducted May-June 2022) of 1523 US adults who reported using a bicycle, e-scooter, or moped. We calculated the weighted prevalence of habitual protective and risky riding behaviors across these 3 modes. Results. Micromobility users were primarily male and skewed toward younger age groups. Although engagement in protective behaviors was similar across modes, risky behaviors varied significantly. Moped users exhibited the highest prevalence of risky behaviors (59.6%), followed by e-scooter users (50.9%) and bicyclists (39.4%). E-scooter users had the highest self-reported lifetime crash rate (44.6%), followed by bicyclists (24.6%) and moped users (15.9%). Conclusions. Micromobility users exhibit distinct, mode-specific behavioral profiles. Public Health Implications. Cities should implement mode-specific safety measures, such as targeted campaigns and infrastructure improvements, to address the elevated crash risk among moped and e-scooter users.

碰撞相关的保护和危险行为的微移动乘客：一项全国代表性的调查。

目标。研究包括骑自行车者、轻便摩托车者和电动滑板车使用者在内的微移动使用者的保护性和危险行为。方法。我们分析了一项具有全国代表性的调查（于2022年5月至6月进行）的数据，调查对象是1523名报告使用自行车、电动滑板车或轻便摩托车的美国成年人。我们计算了这三种模式中习惯性保护和危险骑乘行为的加权患病率。结果。微型交通工具的使用者主要是男性，年龄偏小。尽管不同模式下的保护行为相似，但危险行为差异很大。轻便摩托车使用者的危险行为发生率最高（59.6%），其次是电动滑板车使用者（50.9%）和自行车使用者（39.4%）。电动滑板车使用者自述的一生碰撞率最高（44.6%），其次是骑自行车的人（24.6%）和轻便摩托车使用者（15.9%）。结论。微移动用户表现出独特的、特定于模式的行为特征。公共卫生影响。城市应该实施针对特定模式的安全措施，例如有针对性的宣传活动和基础设施改善，以解决轻便摩托车和电动滑板车用户中碰撞风险增加的问题。公共卫生。2025年10月3日在线出版：e1-e5。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308256)。
