Ban these fucking things or at least ban anyone under 25 from using them

These little assholes zoom around at light speed colliding into grandmas

Not sure what it is about electric scooters but people on them are way more reckless and less mindful than cyclists

You’re missing a whole angle here were companies are unilaterally, often illegally, enclosing one of the tiny amount of public space that still exists. They just air-dropped these things on public sidewalks in cities all over the world where they act as obstructions to basically anyone who needs any kind of mobility aid of any kind. And just claiming the use of public space for a private enterprise is bad all on it’s own.

Do your part. Drag scooters down to the scrapper and tell them they were abandoned on your property.

Yes, and they have been doing this for decades with all kinds of things from advertising (like sandwich-boards), legally and illegaly parked business vehicles and a lot of other stuff.

If suddenly you find this detestable but somehow only in the context of e-scooters it doesn’t exactly come across as a genuine concern.
