It is not obvious to me that this is correcting for the differences in bicycle vs escooter users? Or the total number of users over time.

By and large I expect someone riding a bicycle to be fitter than the average bear. In contrast, someone using an escooter could have any possible composition: slim/obese, young/old, safe/reckless. The increasing popularity of scooters also means that the absolute number of people has likely risen from a decade ago.
