They already are illegal or heavily regulated. The problem is that we don't have adequate infrastructure in this country to separate vulnerable travellers such as cyclists and scooterists from *really* dangerous traffic like cars and lorries, so they try to stay safe with pedestrians.

Ah I do so enjoy being one of the few 'scooterists' on the road who follows traffic laws only to be behind a driver who should have their license revoked. Missed my bus by two minutes cause a driver refused to turn onto the road during generous gaps in traffic.

this is devastating, and yet another reminder that the single biggest danger to cyclists, scooterists and pedestrians (not to mention vehicle drivers and passengers) is the motor vehicle. the motorist here deserves prison and should never be allowed drive again

Interested, because scooters and scooterists are cool. And the constant smell of two stroke in the air, a smell that I associate with childhood even now. Bored because it's still motor racing, and therefore sport. And because it took me away from home and my friends and telly a dozen times a year.

But carry on clutching your pearls about e-scooters why don’t you?
You barely pass a day without reporting at least one death by or in a motor vehicle, but single figure numbers of victims of pedal cyclists and e-scooterists have your panties in a wad

I've noticed that e-bikers are much worse than e-scooterists. Mostly rough-looking old men.

Both cyclists and scooterists are running amok in the right hand lane, not following basic full-stop at corners, in Toronto.
New r/h bike lanes have tripled car drivers' shoulder check frequency. (L for cars, R for cyclists in mirror(!), L for cars again because you don't trust the time lag.

Last year I was in Oslo, another successful vision zero city, and bicycle rule following was so hilariously lackadaisical that I set a GoPro down aimed at an intersection while waiting for a trolley. Of 14 cyclists/scooterists arriving at a red light, only 3 waited for a green: vimeo.com/1117881833

We need these in Poland. Too many season bikers and scooterists mistake bike lanes for a racing circuit.
You can make that quantitative and less prone to interpretation.

It’s not just you. I see more and more hand cyclists and mobility scooterists using cycle lanes. They’re generally smoother and less cluttered than footpaths.

There is moral outrage here in #Ireland when e-scooterists run amok, but no outcry when hundreds are killed and thousands seriously injured each year by motor vehicles. Double-standards of #motordom!
We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity
