What about electric scooters riding 20mph on major roads with no lights?


Some of those e-scooters go 70 mph now. That's bananas.

We used to just refer to this as common sense. There was also a level of accountability that came with the territory. If you got hurt doing something stupid, your first reaction wasn't to blame the manufacturer of the bike or the city for failing to prevent you from hurting yourself.

We live in a weird time of human history. I'm sure every generation feels that way. I digress.

In general, I try to apply the golden rule to any given situation.

So, I'm driving home from work, in a 35mph speed zone, E-biker on the opposite side of road, on sidewalk, passes my vehicle, no helmet, no jacket, no boots, no protective gear at all.


Also: not taking up a spot in traffic.

I was commenting to Mrs. Bard just the other day about the increase in e-bikes and e-scooters. Most of what I see are folks using them on sidewalks or shoulders (on busy roads like Millerville or Florida, respectively) and only being in the roads in neighborhoods (and sometimes on the sidewalks even then).

As long as they aren't harassing people on sidewalks or causing traffic to have to pile up behind them because they are moving more slowly and won't get over to allow faster traffic by, I have no problem with them.

Classify the type 3 (over 28mph) and above as motorcycles.
