Electric bikes (e-bikes) account for an unexpected proportion of traffic crash injuries and deaths in China. There is an urgent need to study the factors influencing the aggressive behaviours of e-bike riders and reduce their potential involvement in crashes. In addition, aggression varies when directed at different types of road users, particularly when expressed by vulnerable groups. This study aimed to validate the Cycling Anger Expression Inventory (CAX) for e-bikers and explore whether the expression of aggression in e-bikers differs depending on the recipients, such as drivers, pedestrians, or other riders. The analysis examined the aggression specificity of e-bikers by employing tests of measurement invariance (MI). These findings indicate that adaptive/constructive expression has emerged as a mainstream strategy for managing e-biker anger. E-bikers exhibited the highest levels of aggression toward drivers. These results provide a strong basis for the prevention and intervention of aggression and accidents among Chinese e-bikers.
