> can't carry it in public transport

That's a bizarre rule. What was their justification?

Edit: apparently due to safety concerns about their batteries. IMO they shouldn't allow importing/selling them if the batteries are unsafe.

The battery concerns are just a ridiculous excuse. E-bikes are allowed in public transport.
Technically yes, but the batteries on bikes are better protected, higher up, and usually of better quality than cheap scooter batteries, that are low to the ground. It's more of a statistical decision.
