Legal e-bikes are limited to 25kph and only add power to pedalling. If they are solely self-propelled or can exceed 25kph then they become motor vehicles if I understand it correctly.
No logic then to legalising a 25kph e-scooter, which is far less safe, at least to the user.
Disregarding the comparison, they are surely unsafe on many roads, and dangerous to others on pavements. There's not really any cycling infrastructure they might use. I fail to see how legalising them can be contemplated.
