Abstract
The growing trend toward electric personal mobility vehicles introduces new partic-ipants in the world of mobility, giving new challenges and new potential hazards totraditional road users. This fast growth has also given hard times to road regula-tors to follow the trend which generated a lack of rules, especially due to a lack ofknowledge on the behavior of these vehicles and their users.The goal of this thesis was to develop a data collection and data analysis procedureto objectively compare these vehicles.Four vehicles were chosen to be tested: a conventional bike, an e-bike, an e-scooter,and a segway. A set of four different maneuvers was developed to simulate real-worldriding scenarios: 1) a "gentle" and 2) a "harsh" maneuver to evaluate the longitudinalbehavior of these vehicles, 3) a "slalom" maneuver to evaluate the lateral motion and4) an "unexpected" maneuver to evaluate the rider’s reaction after an unpredictedevent.
Performance indicators of stability, maneuverability, and comfort, that wereto be analyzed for the four vehicles, were defined
