In the past 2 years dockless electric scooters, shared bikes, and electric skateboards have risen in popularity and are being integrated into the urban transportation ecosystem. As these micro-mobility devices increase in prevalence, several cities have raised concerns about their safe operating speeds and interaction with pedestrians and vehicles. This study collected travel speeds for pedestrians, bicycles, electric scooters (e-scooters), skateboards, and electric skateboards (e-skateboards). A total of 754 travel speeds were recorded using a laser speed gun setup on bike paths, sidewalks, and streets. Results show that around 95% of e-scooter and 93% of bicycle speeds recorded were below 15 mi per hour (mph). Interestingly, more than 50% of e-skateboard speeds were above 15 mph, with 4% above 20 mph. Statistical tests were also performed to compare the mean speeds of all the modes. There was statistically significant difference in speeds between all of the above mentioned transportation modes, with the exception of bicycle and scooter speeds.
