theres a few issues here. scooters are easy to ride but actually were never designed to be ridden more than at a running pace. they're hard to swerve and maneuver at speed and the small wheels makes it easy to catch on big potholes and cracks in the road. it mostly seems fine until you really observe that a lot of new e scooter riders are kind of inexperienced looking type of people that don't have much time riding mopeds, motorcycles, even bicycles. the combination makes for pretty bad escooter accidents. the speed itself can be safeish but the rider needs to have skills, and a lot of new people are hopping on these new electric powered rides and barely have skills at all. the other concern is that a lot of people bend the rules when riding scooters and bikes so the collisions have been getting worse and more common with pedestrians and other bikers mainly. ironically on the other side of the spectrum for skill, the teenagers that do all the tricks and stunts on ebikes have lots of skills but can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble.
