But like people don't ride them badly here, so clearly that's a solvable problem. I'd wager germany generally doesn't actually really have that good bicycle infrastructure.

As for them being left all over the place, that's a regulation problem specific to rental scooters, and doesn't apply at all to privately owned ones but people like you just ignore that completely.
Also like, you've seen where people park their cars, right? a car in the middle of the bike path is vastly more annoying than an e-scooter.

Calling problems "solvable problems" or "regulation problems" does not make them go away they are still problems associated with e-scooters. I always hear good stuff about Germany's bicycle infrastructure but I guess it is suddenly bad when it is covenient for you to make your point.

Of course a car parked on a bike path is more annoying than e-scooters I've never said e-scooters were worse than cars, but still I find them extremely annoying as a person that is travelling mostly on foot.
