Better alternatives for now, Im not sure to be honest. I just feel it is much easier or more tempting to go fast on a scooter. Since one doesn’t have to pedal and put in physical effort, it is tempting to always go fast (or faster) as opposed to naturally go with the flow. And it doesn’t help that electric scooters drain by distance when speed is variable or the difference is insignificant. Why would one wait behind a cyclist when they can quickly accelerate and pass. At least some would be tempted. This creates some kind of traffic mismatch and more collisions are likely, I think. Im sure some rules and common sense would eventually ensue. Learning from mistakes. Or maybe a top speed could level the traffic off. Or maybe even some sort of light “licence”. I hear that in Germany one is required for cyclists and thats a good way to ensure some responsibility or better aquitance with the rules.

Maybe I’m wrong. I am not certain of anything but electric scooters seem to me like a good and clean way of transportation. I feel that I’d like to see fewer cars as well. I imagine cleaner air, etc. We’d be all better off with all kinds of development in light and efficient transportation. We seem to be stuck with large and energy inneficient stuck in the past transportation. Seems inevitable a change will come along.
