Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.

It always annoys me when people act like the e-mobility doodads are the unsafe thing, rather than the hostile infrastructure and giant speeding death boxes that surround them.

    Exactly this! Scoot on a nice smooth safe street or sidewalk is pretty safe if you don't go crazy fast. But add in cars all around you, fucked up sidewalks, etc... it can be a fucking dangerzone every day

    I see news talking about some kid on an ebike getting obliterated by an F-950 Child Mutilator Extreme Ranch Lariat and then the newscasters going, "ebikes are so dangerous for children!"
