They are not forbidden. They count as a "speciale bromfiets". You need a license, insurance, a license plate, and working lighting.

True, but you're not able to set up a license plate on these things (e.g. Xiaomi M365) without making modifications. They basically go the same speed as bikes (< 30kmph), so I think the difference in legislation is a bit weird.
Oh yeah it's entirely over the top to demand license plates and a license IMO, and understandably the scooters aren't made to carry license plates. Just stating that the post I was replying to is mistaken.

EDIT: Not to mention that your scooter has to be RDW-approved which basically means none exist.
