If your buzzing about the site too fast you can’t have enough time to neb at what other people are doing.
Your on holiday surely the point is to chill out and relax.

It's looking like some people have had enough of them

Bet most are Retired Civil Servants...

Many of us have ebikes, myself included. Provided that an escooter is used and subjected to the same restrictions I can't see why there should be any difference.

It's all about common sense and consideration for others. That includes the riders and pedestrians.

Find a Facebook group from one of the towns where the legal escooter trial is on and you'll get a sense of how they're being used , mostly at 15mph on the path or wobbling about in the road , dumped in rivers

There's no way an Escooter is as stable as a bike or will be ridden like a bike , if they do legalise them you can expect plenty of deaths , they can already be de restricted to do well over 30mph , there's a video of someone setting a speed camera off while riding one

It's as I said, provided they are used and restricted the same.
No amount of legislation or even banning will stop the complete idiots.

A lot of the problems are down to the hire scooters, if people owned them they would take more responsibility over where they are left, because it is so easy for anyone to jump on a hire scooter, people with no experience are jumping on them as a bit of fun.
We are in France, you do not see them left laying around and there are a lot being used sensibly in towns, personally I can see them of great use in the van, small enough to store easily and able to nip to the shops or explore a bit further afield.

I don't think anyone denies they have suitable applications and are convenient, perhaps the point in question was the legality. A Kalashnikov is compact and has its uses but it is not currently legally allowed in the UK.!

Not much use either , if you want to take them out and not get caught you need a sniper rifle
