I don’t live anywhere near these, sadly. Near the end of the article, the author mentioned passing cyclists then being passed again due to the differing accelerations and top speeds. Sounds like it isn’t an issue to slow acceleration to avoid being a nuisance in the bike lane with Bird, at least?

I've ridden Bird scooters (which are just a modified version of this [1]) quite a few times in San Francisco, and while they can usually accelerate a little faster from a stop than most cyclists do, I've found it easy to just match acceleration with the cyclist in front of me. On flat ground you'll probably end up cruising at a similar speed to most cyclists, though there are certainly outliers in both directions.
