e-scooters are a new type of vehicle on the road. If they can be called a vehicle at all. Many motorcycle and car drivers are angry at e-scooter drivers because they do not have to pass technical inspections and pay insurance, do not have light indicators and do not have to meet many more technical requirements. But still driving on roads for motor vehicles, they can reach speeds of 30km / h (average 15-20 km / h). They are a great danger on the road because the small wheels on such vehicles are not often stable for such speed. If a scooter driver falls on the road, he is treated as a pedestrian, not as a driver.

Do you consider electric scooters as a danger on the road? Do you think they need to meet more technical requirements before going out on the road?

These vehicles should be near the side walk and not the road and highways. Its basically a glorified skateboard.

But you can often see it in towns how they go between cars during rush hours. If just one fall it will cause chain car accident.

It is not so slow with 20-30km/h average and many is even faster. It is not for city roads to.

Traditional cycles have much bigger wheels and those are much stabile. Also people don't driver it so fast.

In the UK it is an offence to ride one on the road, pavement or cycle lane at this time. You can only ride one on private land although many owners are not aware of it.

However according to this article there will be a trial to see if it would be possible to ride rental scooters on the public highway. No definite confirmation as yet though as this is still underway.

These are cheap and perhaps an environmental-friendly mode of transportation. However, they should not be allowed on main roads or highways. Or perhaps limited to bike-lanes if available. This is for the rider's safety as well.

Those are good, visible and much better for control so drivers don't have anything against them.

However, they should not be allowed on main roads or highways.

Some drivers say they would agree to be on road but they rules should be same for them to like light indicators or helmets.

I personally think yes. Because it can have a fault. People can be distracted by it

In India it is not very common before some days I read that police in one city used it for petroling

Initial adoption of this type of vehicle is going to be a problematic affair as the other vehicles on roads are faster and sturdier. But these hindrances shouldn't stop its profileration.

I think some designers and techs could solve a problem with light indicators and for driver protection there is already good equipment for motorcycle drivers. It should only become obligation.

Though these can be accident hazard lets be thankful Flying cars are still not approved to be legal to be mass produced. Those are more dangerous.

yes you are right, they will suffer for misusing the e scooter. The trouble is the younger generation are not aware of the dangers lurking on the highways and the busy roads. Escooters are not supposed to use on the path walk either. People are walking and can easily being knocked down.
