Then use a fucking ebike? Motorized vehicles dont belong on sidewalks, period. How the fuck are people gonna walk to work in a BUSINESS DISTRICT if there's scooters saturating the sidewalk?
They have to go on bicycle lanes and streets (where there is no bicycle lane) here in Germany. Makes sense tbh. Cars should be slowed down to 30km/h in settlements though imo. Going on a 50km/h street is neither safe for bicycle, nor e-scooters, nor for crossing pedestrians.
And they are great ways of transportation. Grant us public transport users so much more independency.
They should introduce enforced signal lights though (only some have them). That is my only real concern here. Signalling with the arm is just not safe on a e-scooter.
Even 30 km/hr feels a bit high honestly. In a busy downtown you're not going to be moving much at all.
In a busy downtown there shouldn't be cars at all
They're certainly heavily outnumbered
By banning cars in the city and rallocating freed space to ebikes. Oh, sorry, this is harder than rocket science for you.
