Electric scooters, bicycles, powered bicycles, and ewheels are all terrific ways of getting around NYC (and, I imagine, other dense urban areas). Enlightened regulation coupled with education (and a little common courtesy) would ameliorate most of the issues you mention. Cars are the enemy, as they consume far more resources (space, traffic control, etc.) than they pay for. Shifting riders out of cars into any other mode of transportation (including mass transit) should be the goal of any sensible urban plan.
