I don't there's any limit for e-scooters, quick look online and found one which claims 28mph. Any sold with a limit can probably be easily circumvented anyway.
Also reckon there's pretty much fuck all use as a car alternative, but not that it's an age thing. It's people either avoiding public transport or wanting the convenience of a bike without the effort.
Only thing I can think of in their defence is that they're easier to store than bikes, but the flipside to that is that they'll probably burn the house down.

As much as i think they are a great alternative to cars, they are not being taken up by drivers, just school kids being dicks 2-up on them
Maybe they are getting some cars off the school run in that case?

I think that would be most of us if they were around when we were that age!

Lots of electric scooters abandoned on cyclepaths of Essex.
Worse are the ones in use, hooning about like they own the paths.
Got ding-dinged by one, when I was slowing for some peds/ flooded path, they squeezed past me and went up the road.
10 seconds later I passed them (they are restricted to 15mph I think) and gave a cheery wave.
