• Interesting. They do seem to be a slight menace (akin to a cyclist going slightly faster than their abilities) but I can think of so many things that deserve police attention more*. Would be interesting to know how many accidents or injuries have been caused by them being ridden on the road so far.

    *Anything involving inattentive/careless/dangerous car drivers

  • electric scooters probably aren't any more dangerous than bicycles on the road?
    it's the pricks riding unrestricted ones at speed on shared use paths that pose more danger to people IMO

    I shouldn't think the batteries on the cheap imported ones will have a particularly long lifespan though, so they'll likely end up rotting away in gardens after 6 months.
