Inte direkt om lagligheten, men dock skaderisken - det finns väl något samband någonstans.

Hate e-scooters? Join the club of the pals of 190 riders in Austin TX who ended up in hospital
Wear a helmet, hipsters

55 per cent of those hurt were male. The average age was between 18 and 29. 33 per cent of those quizzed stacked it during their first trip on an e-scooter.
Almost half suffered injuries to the head, 70 per cent to arms, wrists or shoulders. More than a third fractured a bone (excluding noses, fingers and toes).
Researchers also plotted exactly where the incidents took place. About 55 per cent were hurt while riding on the road, a third were on the sidewalk and one unlucky individual was in a parking garage.
Only 16 per cent of incidents involved a motor vehicle – either collisions or riders being forced to swerve or jump off to avoid a car.
One surprise to come out of the research – at least for anyone who has spent time in a city infested with these things – is that only two people
not riding the scooters were injured, one pedestrian and one cyclist.
