Hopefully those safety concerns will force cities to accommodate electric scooters as part of their transportation infrastructure, leading to proper lanes, safety inspections and docking stations, instead of banning them nilly-willy.

The current urban infrastructure in America are build for automobiles, specifically cars, with bikes being an afterthought. The mass adoption of electric scooters will eventually cause a wake-up call for city planners, and will hopefully put the brakes on car culture.
