I concur. Getting an e-scooter makes me see my city in a new way. I chalk it up to ease of transition. If I want to stop and look at something, I can do so in seconds. I can just walk my scooter on the sidewalk and sightsee to my heart's content. I'm less likely to notice something interesting in my car as I'm focused on not killing people. I can't just stop suddenly. I have to find parking. I worry about what's going to happen to my car. Sure, if I want to leave my scooter behind I have to find even more sparse bike racks or risk it getting stolen. Then again, the total loss might be less than the heartache of dealing with insurance and the police.

Digress, immediacy is why convertibles were popular. Immediacy is fun. Where driving most cars is like playing a sucky video game. Yes lets play EA's Commute to Work for an hour in the morning and an hour after work. Makes me think about a different world with scooters, bicycles, and low speed vehicles dealing with transits last 3 mile problem instead of using cars cars and more cars.
