Not a defence for the e-scooter (I've discussed my worries surrounding them before) but I believe the 'higher end' £1500up scooters have front and back brakes with a 70/30 weighting to the front brake (maybe not exact correct split). Obviously not many will be buying them at this price and the cheaper ones are likely to not have this as standard

Pretty sure they only have a rear brake. Front brake would be useless on the tiny front wheel as you’d immediately flip it over.
So I imagine they’re pretty terrible at stopping an adult travelling 20mph
