This research provides an insight into the views of stakeholders in order to establish conversations that may contribute to the future e-scooter landscape in London. Through a stakeholder survey, alignments and misalignments regarding the expected use and impacts of e-scooters are understood, both in the Covid-19 impacted short-term and post-pandemic long-term. The conversation is extended through a scenario planning and backcasting exercise to understand desirable futures and associated policy pathways. Furthermore, the research discusses a previously simplistic view of uncertainty within futures studies and suggests an alternative view.
