Or that we need a licence to drive them. Personally I think there should be the equivalent to a driver's licence for both ebikes and scooters.

But it would kill the industry if it was enforced now, so I hope we will get it later once people actually got the taste for it and want to continue using them even if they need to get a licence.

License has much more sense than outright ban.

I don't care for the "industry". They must adapt. Driving car requires license but the industry is still there.

But the licence came years after the car, that's exactly the point
