I had a push scooter, and they're very dangerous.

Wheels are small, board is short, and center of gravity is high. It just takes a small pothole covered with leaves (so, not even winter), and the driver will fly forward (I did).

E-scooters are heavier, with larger wheels and longer boards, so they may be less accident-prone, but I've never tried one.
