    With the surge of e-scooters, those new vehicles are generally treated just like ordinary bicycles in most countries: they require no operational licenses, incur no parking fees, are not taxed, and can be carried on to most public means of transportation.

    However, in some countries their use is still prohibited; while not more dangerous than bikes and powered similarly to e-bikes, part of the public see them as a nuisance and are opposed to their use. Some authorities are still very reluctant to the change. In Australia, the New South Wales transport minister, Andrew Constance, said he was “not in the mood” and described other schemes as “a disaster”.
