Answer
We do not know of any research about behaviour actually displayed by other road users in response to LEVs. However, opinions of non-users have been researched. A study of opinions among LEV users and non-users in Indianapolis (United States) showed, for example, that 72% of non-users thought that riding an e-scooter on the pavement posed a threat to pedestrians, whereas only 47% of e-scooter users shared this opinion [41]. Research in Belgium [39] shows that non-users (158 respondents) consider riding an e-scooter to be much more hazardous to themselves (78%) and others (72%) than e-scooter users (150 respondents) did (16% and 2% respectively).
