Stand up scooters, e-bikes, scooters on sidewalks...wtf

Who else is tired of feeling like walking the sidewalk is akin to waking on the road?

Strolling on 16th today I damn near got run over by a person on a stand up scooter coming at full blast on a sidewalk. The sidewalk barely passable by two people walking past each other in some stretches, let alone the space for a motorized vehicle.

It's not cool to have to look both ways--on the sidewalk--any time I want to enter the *sidewalk* to use it to walk, what's it designed for.

I hate this because I love alternative modes of transportation to cars. And support the ways rentable scooters and e-bikes especially have made transportation more available to many people. That said, I can't count how many times I've had to jump out of the way of a motorized bike, scooter, or stand up scooter like I'm in a game of frogger on the sidewalk. As a disabled person it especially sucks bc it hurts so much to suddenly jerk my body out of the way bc someone decided they want to zip by at 10 to 25 mph (going downhill they come soooooo fast).

Is there any momentum to petition the city to ban e-bikes and scooters of all kinds from the sidewalks in the neighborhoods too, and not just the central business district? And to actually enforce it? Or to lower the speed allowed so companies cant issue rental ebikes and scooters at least that go faster than that? It's harder to regulate privately owned devices

Also totally hate the idea of more policing, but sans any other means to slow the motorized vehicles down on sidewalks, it seems like the best option.

Thoughts? Am I a Karen for this? Argh. How do we solve the problem of u safe pedestrian conditions while also accommodating a need for transport for people to get around? And conduct business (that is, delivery drivers on scooters)?
