Why are your ebikes being forced to go on sidewalks? Could it be that cars have made riding an ebike on the roads very dangerous or clogged them up with traffic?
As such, most people on e-scooters aren’t educated on traffic laws like drivers are.
As such, minors who are uneducated on traffic law are also able to use them.
Going back to point 2, when you pair people ignorant to traffic laws going 120 km/hr on a device with no built-in protection with the fact that helmets aren’t legally required for them, you get a strain on public health for stupid reasons.
We already set speed limits on conventional bikes for safety reasons.
“Pedestrians” (which should include e-scooters and e-bikes), are at a 90% rate of injury for car collisions at 90 km/hr . I highly doubt this changes when it’s an e-scooter hitting another e-scooter or an e-scooter hitting a pedestrian.
No matter how you spin this, 120 km/hr on a scooter is beyond stupid.
Quickly adding that where I live, we have designated, separated bike lanes people using these things are supposed to use, and they still go zooming down sidewalks nearly hitting people, no helmet on, without so much of a ring of a bell for warning.

Take cars off the roads and I guarantee you won’t have any problems getting bikes to use the street rather than the sidewalk.
Actually, let’s just remove the ability for humans to be injured in collisions. That’s probably easier.
How would you recommend doing that?
Congrats on completely ignoring points 4 to 6.
Have a good day.
