No mention that e-scooters usually lack brake power to be safe. Most only have a rear brake, which is much less efficient than a front brake for stopping, on any vehicle. But having a front brake on a scooter would be very unsafe as well, because it would be too easy to flip over the front wheel.
Conclusion: e-scooters cannot be made safe beyond 10mph/15kph.
Ever wondered why bicycles have large wheels?
