Why not? I ride on the sidewalk all the time with my push one, I don't see how an electric one would be any different
Have you seen how fast e-scooters can zip along? And they're so quiet too… They're banned on footpaths here in Ireland now, and with good reason. Though that forces them onto the road in lots of places, which is not fun when I'm in the car behind one

Also, Americans... I'm not saying all of us are dumb, but... most are.

That actually makes sense. I wouldn't imagine getting hit by a scooter going around 15 mph would be fun But, I also don't understand why they wouldn't have their own lane or designated sidewalk... or something. Bike lanes (using bike lanes as an example here) aren't exactly everywhere, but it would make sense to have a few on busy roads.

Yeah, e-scooters can use bike lanes here, but bike lane coverage is pretty patchy… Then when they go and build bike lanes, drivers get resentful that their road space is being reduced I don't resent it, I'm happy to be able to cruise along without worrying about injuring someone!

I never got why people get butthurt over their road. You're sharing it with other cars, and you don't care, but when a bike comes along, you get mad? What's up with that? I, too, like the idea of bike lanes for the reason of safety. I just think that they should have them everywhere- or close to it.

Eh, same here. My ideal party is Dr. Pepper and Rayman with some friends, but alas none of my friends like Rayman, and nor do any of my friends exactly host parties...
