Italian regulation is very similar https://www.interno.gov.it/it/notizie/regole-i-monopattini-elettrici https://www.interno.gov.it/it/notizie/regole-i-monopattini-e... but I am not convinced it's enough.
- speed limits are not enforced in practice
- steady 25 km/h on a bike path is still too much, where you can see 8 year olds on their first bikes, runners, animals, roller bladers and all kinds of distracted and inexperienced bikers; 25 km/h is faster than most other users on the already narrow path; 25 km/h + 25 km/h = 50 km/h in possible frontal collisions
- headlights of the e-scooters are pointed straight ahead and cannot turn away; on a straight path they basically blind other users
- in the dark, it's very difficult to estimate the distance to an approaching e-scooter, because it has only one (blinding) headlight, and it moves at a constant speed, and it moves _fast_
