without seeming nearly as threatening
Quite the contrary.
Scooters are viewed by the riders as less dangerous than bikes. Result: they take more risks, especially risks to pedestrians.
- njarboe 8y agoA person on a scooter is barely bigger than just a person. They stand maybe 4 inches higher. They are like like a person running. A bit annoying and going too fast, but not that big a deal. A bike going the same speed is a much bigger object.
- masonic 8y agoThey are like like a person running. You've clearly never seen a scooter clip a person's ankle and break it. I have. The point of contact is not torso to torso, it's metal to ankle. It's common here for scooter retrievers to stack multiple scooters crosswise on the driven scooter's floorboard when carrying back for charging or deployment, making it a 3+ foot wide wrecking platform.
