The size of the wheel matters.

I have both a bike and an electric scooter, and any small bump, twig, or slightly deteriorated road can be felt much more to the point that I specifically avoid a part of my way to work to avoid a deteriorated road. With my bike before having my electric scooter, I didn't even notice the road was bad.

I simply can not drive on stone paved streets more than 5min, its really insufferable. And my electric scooter have shock absorber on the front but not the back. My next one will have shock absorber on both wheels, it's non-negotiable.
