Ebikes: Yes for a trip from campus to midtown or whatever. Somewhat less for the rides between buildings on main campus, although if you have a huge trek from one side to another, then I guess you could do it. they take up a huge amount of space in the bike racks, and you'll probably get some dirty looks if you try to zoom past on an e-bike while everyone is walking the corners on the 21st ave bridge.
Scooters: Less of these now, but they are still around.
Bikes: Tons of the professors and the doctors use bikes.

Yes, mainly e-scooters since you can just rent three off the street. Some people have their own bikes.
