1. There's no evidence "the public" is bearing significant risk here, as opposed to scooter riders bearing individual risk. 2. You are incorrect in your claim

1. There's no evidence "the public" is bearing significant risk here, as opposed to scooter riders bearing individual risk. 2. You are incorrect in your claim that rental car companies do not track travel data. Many rental car companies do indeed have GPS trackers in some their cars. Despite this they bear no liability for the criminal behaviors of their customers, nor should they. 3. I am not sure if you mean your last statement to be normative or declarative. If the latter, you are wrong. Scooter rental companies in fact have no legal obligation to enforce traffic laws, thank goodness.
