Interestingly, and probably because the UK are assholes towards e-scooters, but in Canada, I’m seeing a lot more people riding e-scooters this past year.
The growth in e-scooters is probably larger than with e-bikes around here!
Municipalities should incentivize, and promote, these devices to more people. Yes, with an education piece, too.
Protected bile lanes are all they need from municipalities. My city has leaned into some protected lanes for bikes in its downtown core, and scooters are heavily used there.
A safe path where they can travel 15-20mph along with normal bikes will heavily incentivise use. Everything else will coke along with that.

We’ve had municipalities around here REMOVE protected bike lanes… anything to make car drivers feel safe, right? /s
