Ban cars/motorcycles from large urban areas. Put electric scooters/bicycles on the roads where cars used to be but restrict them from using sidewalks, public foot paths, and cycle lanes.
Problem solved with cleaner air, better population health, and less danger as a result.
The left is all about getting rid of cars and telling us to be healthier...yet I notice a proliferation of drive thru establishments in my pretty decent size town, which is a majority left (and has been for quite some town). Talking to some friends around the country, it seems like this is pretty much everywhere.
Yeah, those cars idling while waiting for their food at Chick Fil A has to be great for the environment. Same with the Starbucks. McDonalds. Walgreens/CVS/. Any fast food place, etc.
Way better for the environment and your health than simply parking and getting out of your car and walking in right? I mean who has time for that? Not only that, but I'd bet at least 90% of the cars at Starbucks drive thru have 1 person in them (the driver) and it's probably at least 75% at all the other establishments.
Oh, but it's a convenience for people so it must get approved!

A hearing aid is a device that helps people with hearing loss to hear better by amplifying sounds and making them clearer.
Are these scooters actually causing people to be lazy and ride places that they would have walked or run before, or are they a means to get the lazy people to actually leave their house and enjoy some fresh air and sunlight?

I know folks with e bikes who would not ride otherwise. I doubt they would be riding a "normal" bike or walking or running. So I would argue that while the bike provides some assistance, the person is still expending energy that otherwise would not have been expended.
Alas, why is it people want to ban something just because they do not like it. That person riding the ebike (aside from maybe running over you) is not causing you harm and the price point makes it such that these are exactly going to be used by everyone.
Well at least the folks are out getting some fresh air instead of languishing in front of a flat screen.
The air inside their house is cleaner than the air they breathe traveling on the roads.

Berg drew the marauding Chinese racistly but it is true enough. Americans are too fat to fight.

Do you actually care if someone else whom you don't know will be fat? Also, regular bike riders might turn a sidewalks into a speed roadway. I think, your own health and condition is what should actually care you.
Agree with this, there are pros and cons of every technology but you must get benefits of all new tech
