> Considering bicycles exist, scooters are completely senseless and should probably be banned outright.

Scooters can be quite convenient due to smaller size.

In general, banning things that are too risky for an individual's taste seems wrong. Individuals should be allowed to take risks with their own bodies as long as they are fully informed of those risks. Skiing or having children might be too risky for me but imposing that preference on others isn't showing empathy.
