If only it was safe for e-scooter riders to use the road, alas the road is filled with cars that will absolutely turn them into paste.
In my city tons and tons of people use e-scooters and it’s fine, because as it turns out people ride on sidewalks because it’s the only non-suicidal option.
I don’t know your city, but in America it’s very well established that riding bikes on the sidewalk is less safe for cyclists as well as other sidewalk users. This applies to e-scooters just as well, and includes car dominated cities.
Turns out people are really bad as judging relative risk when it comes to traffic. If you live in a modern western city, I bet your city is the same.
