There are two types of people that will vote in such a referendum: those that use electric scooters (vote to allow) and those that are annoyed by them (vote to forbid). The others don't care enough. If you look at the demographics for people using electric scooters, it contains a lot of: minors, people from the suburbs, train commuters, tourists. None of these were eligible to vote. On the other hand, people annoyed by the scooters are more likely to be older locals, eligible and motivated to vote. I think that's fair, because hey, locals should get to choose what happens in their city. But Paris is such an interconnected city that I understand it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of some.
