I don’t agree with the ban, but you’re a bit naive in your thinking on how easy crimes can be in a crowded city when you’re able to buy something for $600 with no registration, plates, brand identity, or colors, that can go 30mph silently while being no wider than your own shoulders at its thickest part, that can be easily stashed, brought indoors, thrown over a fence, etc. it’s currently the perfect urban crime vehicle unless you’re trying to steal something that won’t fit in a backpack.
Rob a place from a car and security cam and witness see a “red Honda Civic, plate number 123-3210” or “he went that way on a scooter”
















Ok. Be on foot. How far away from home or public transport you going? You faster running than a cop or someone else you pissed off? How far are you getting on foot?
Also, bikes are bigger, easier to identify, accelerate slower, and speaking as someone who road bikes, getting to 30mph is a hell of a lot of work on a flat ground. Let alone a hill.
