I see a lot of benefits. They are more comfortable than bicycles and may therefore appeal to users who wouldn't give up their car for a bicycle. They require far less space than cars and have the potential to reduce rush hour traffic jams.

I'll stick with my bicycle but I'm happy for anyone who uses an electric scooter, rather than a car.

I think that sitting on a bike is more comfortable than standing on a scooter.
Bad wording on my side, probably. I meant comfortable not necessarely regarding the ride but, for example

- Getting it ready for the ride.

- Taking it inside your appartment/home/office, if necessary. No need to leave it outside.

- Easier to take along inside public transport, and then used as a means of traveling the last mile.

- Defenitely more comfortable if you don't want to excercise.
