All in all I think they are a good thing, electric cars are not the future, I can buy a good car that'll last me years for the cost of 2-3 months rental! Like it or not, scooters and e-bikes are the future for short trip commuting, to reduce congestion and to clean up our cities.
I would have liked to see private owners legalised too, with an age limit and with insurance. No helmets though, there is zero evidence that they are of any nett benefit and considering I can cycle downhill at 60mph without one then making them compulsory for a 15mph scooter does not make sense.
