    E-scooters, especially rented ones, are pretty awful for cities and the environment. This isn’t a strong argument.

      SUVs and trucks are UNIMAGINABLY worse. I’m not a fan of e-scooters, they need a little bit of training to use safely and are still dangerous compared to an ebike. I would rather have ebikes replacing e-scooters everywhere they are now.

      However, they are comparatively a nuisance compared to the menace of SUVs and light trucks killing pedestrians every single day.

        No, there are options outside of scooters and SUVs. Biking, public transit, and walking are all more reasonable options.
