    Many e-scooters IME are driven by idiots with a DUI. And they’re exploiting a loophole that lets you drive on the roads at road speeds even if you’ve lost your license for drunk driving.

    E-bikes are awesome though!

      Here (in EU) I know lots of people who use them legitimately, but no one checks for removal of speed limiter.

      Now at least they have to have insurance so it may decrease the number of a-holes because it is easy to check.
