Bike roads are pretty safe so better than metal coffins going 130km/h... ohh right this is america there arent any bike paths.

Very true.

However I wouldn't want to share a bike path with individuals riding carelessly at 40kmh/30mph. At least here where there is some semblance of 'bike culture', unrestricteds do ride slowly on paths and walkable areas, and usually only let it rip in the road.

Teens might not necessarily abide by that, or understand the risks. They tend to prefer escooters here anyway, and those top out at a much slower 20kmh/15mph... could be worse I guess 🤷‍♂️

I think electric scooters are a curse for everyone. They dont wear protection and a lot of them are reckless.
