LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
Yes although to be fair to doublepepperoni, the other complaints mentioned are not contingent on this strange take.
A car is just the worst case scenario, but these things are routinely involved in other types of accidents as well
Are they prone to accidents on their own?
Where I am, they are a lot more stable than they feel while riding for the first time, they're very bottom-heavy, and limited to 25 km/h.
Anyone capable of hurting themselves on a scooter could easily do the same on any kind of foot-powered transportation.
Small front wheel + standing position makes them very vulnerable to hitting tiny obstacles and sending the rider over the bars head first into something typically hard and unmovable.
Bicycles on the other hand have a much larger front wheel typically and can roll over obstacles that would take out a scooter operator.
