    Because, as I walk through the city, it is 10x more common to find an e-scooter blocking the sidewalk than an SUV?

    Or, maybe, because SUVs do not go at 25kph in walking areas?

    I can absolutely agree with this…

    to be clear about what’s a real problem, and what’s not. (…) Pick up trucks and monster SUVs are -the- a problem and we need a public debate about those 3-4% biggest cars, the space they claim and the danger they pose.

    EDIT: My city has specific, identified and plenty spaces for e-scooters. Either the rental e-scooters break down (too) frequently, or (some of!) the users of those are assholes that abandon them at random.

      Totally disagree.

      It’s the SUVs. Imagine how much space for e-scooters there would be if all the SUVs would be gone.

      Maybe lets make more parking spaces for e scooters and not suvs.

      Also one is a much bigger polluter than the other.
