    You’re talking about private ownership. I’m talking about the rental scooters. I don’t care if people own them as long as they aren’t the ones going 80km/h.

    My problem is with the rental scooters people don’t know how to control/brake and squeeze on 2 people.

      Yeah, rentals are a bit of a nuance around here too, but probably because they are still a novelty for many.

      IMO, if you’re the type of person who rents often, it’s probably better to buy an e-scooter. The convenience, money saved, and comfort/performance benefits are going to be a massive advantage.

      But I’d rather see idiots on rental e-scooters than idiots in multi-ton cars.
