Hm, is not the problem that scooters should be on the street, not on sidewalk? Licenses will be needed only because of impolite drivers.

This isn't safe in all areas. Besides, if an area has a bike path and the scooter is travelling slowly enough (or if it is really an e-bike), this is probably the best option. If you are going vehicle speeds, the road should be fine.

However, this does not solve the problem of parking. It would seem prudent to make sure there is clearly marked parking for the scooters, with fines or whatnot when folks don't follow it. This would be made a great deal easier if scooters have to be registered with plates, and more work without it - especially if you want to confiscate the bike.

Riders are fraidies, though.
