There is now a substantial research literature on e-scootering, mostly based on survey, interview and statistical-type data. This is useful, however, the detail is lacking on exactly how e-scooterists get through public space amongst co-movers. Because e-scooterists often intrude in a space where pedestrians used to have priority, it is often assumed there will be “problems on the pavement”, partly because e-scooterists seem to have advantages of speed and visible presence. But in studying this topic we need to move beyond assumptions to careful examination of naturalistic data. Consequently, this study offers a qualitative analysis of video data collected by discreetly following e-scooterists and filming their actions amongst co-movers in specific places. Through the presentation of graphic transcripts and a comparative approach, new knowledge is gained on the complexities of e-scooter use within the public space of the city
