Agreed. That part bugs me. Cities are effectively subsidizing sidewalk space for these scooters that we paid for with tax revenue (and continue to pay to maintain). Most business that want to capture a parking spot need to pay for that privilege, and scooter companies should have to pay for that as well.

And you’ll see that most scooter riders on sidewalks are going max speed. It has made walking in cities with these things a lot more annoying, and it was already bad enough with cars but at least cars are separated from walkers.
