I don’t understand how jumping curbs is supposed to be a problem, that’s just something you have to do to get around sometimes. It also seems like something that hitting potholes would easily get confused for.
Yeah, I ride a bike a lot and escooters usually are treated the same as far as road laws go where they are allowed. Can’t think of when I have had to jump a kerb.

You can get around without having to jump curbs, and potholes are also avoidable.
Scooters are supposed to be on the street. There is no need to jump any curbs.
Where I’m from there’s still a plenty of combined pedestrian/bike paths that have an annoyingly high curb after every crosswalk.
I’ll say again. Scooters are supposed to be on the street. Not on bike paths or sidewalks.
Well you’d be wrong. The law says they belong on bike paths here, and a lot of the time sidewalks are combined paths where bikes are supposed to go.
No no no, you missed the part where it says “lemmy.world” after their name, so their perspective is always correct. Read the Fediverse manual.
And where is that?
Finland, but it’s the same in all of the EU. Scooters are legally the same as bikes.
Just like in Canada. I would suspect most of the world as well.
