Ebikes have gone through regulations and now have a standard
But probably the majority of ebikes don't follow those regulations, it's only useful having a standard if it's enforced.

Don't agree with this. Most do comply with the regs which are pretty clear re EAPCs. Check. Gov site for info.
The DfT are working with various stakeholders on escooter regs with support of many road safety orgs. Prediction is that with 1.5 years private escooters will be legal with clear specs and regs.
As an aside interesting use of e-scooters to look at general risk hot spots https://www.micromobilitybiz.com/dott-completes-trial-with-see-sense-to-find-road-safety-risks/amp/

I wholeheartedly support e-scooter, the biggest problem is the battery/motors, which more often than not make them more like a moped than an E-scooter.
Ebikes have gone through regulations and now have a standard, but nothing much been done about escooter.
