The problem of E-Scooters

 If you have ever used a device (even if it isn't powered) like a two wheeled scooter it isn't really safe over about 5 to 10 miles an hour if that. So, when people think they are safe on an E-Scooter often they are not because they aren't coordinated enough to survive on one without being injured. 

For example, all you have to do is to hit a crack in the sidewalk to do a front flip on one of these things at different speeds. So, any uneven surface can throw a person off this vehicle even if they are going 35 miles an hour which many of them are capable of doing.

Like I said before something like this isn't really safe above about 5 to 10 miles per hour and if people think they are safe when they are not things often are going to get bloody real fast.

Then you have people trying to share the sidewalk with these things and e-Bikes coming up behind you and people not being safe drivers and you can see the problems you can have.

Then if people try to ride these things in the streets then they are competing with Bicycles, Cars and Trucks and Buses and these are all hazards for incompetent E-Bike riders.

So, people overestimating their skills on an E-Bike is almost a given around the world so you cannot help but have all sorts of accidents with stationary objects and walkers and cars and trucks and bicycles as well as cracks in the sidewalk or uneven surfaces flipping the device forward on it's nose (at any speed) because the rider and driver have missed the fact that these wheels are only at most maybe 5 inches to 7 inches tall and when you hit an uneven surface of 1/4 an inch to an inch the front wheel will immediately just stop and flip forward Or it will throw the rider off into people, oncoming cars or trucks or buildings or whatever obstacles are in the way while the rider and driver is moving forwards often at speeds of 30 plus miles per hour.

So, what is the biggest problem?

People overestimating their skills with these things because they rode non-powered scooters like this when they were children.

Only with an E-Bike going 30 miles per hour this mistake can be fatal in a few seconds. So, the rider finds out too late that this is not a child's plaything but an intrument of their potential maiming or death instead.
