Operating at high speed on narrow sidewalks. I have been clipped while walking in physically confined sidewalk areas, by a scooter moving at a dangerously high speed (amazingly, he yelled at me for being in his way). It would have been hard to do this even with a bicycle because the handlebars are wider. This could easily have ended in serious injury.
I don't object to the existance of e-scooters, but I think the ease with which they allow riders to operate at wreckless speeds in confined pedestrian lanes is novel, and probably needs to be addressed somehow.
