We went to Ft Lauderdale Beach for Mother's day and couldn't believe our eyes. E scooters everywhere zigzagging between people out for a beach walk. We went to one of the outside restaurants on the beach and a young teen girl crashed into our table and the one next to it. People were driving the E scooters down the road the wrong way against the traffic. This is a dangerous situation and I think as long as there are E scooters in Ft Lauderdale we'll go elsewhere. I read that a female judge was run over by one a few months ago. Good luck you will need it.

Tourists riding those E-Scooters are mostly from Latin America, Europe n Asia. Many are migrants or immigrants in general from third world countries so they don't understand U.S laws let alone common sense or being polite or considerate.

I think I should also mention how classy the OP is. I guess my joking response triggered him(her?) to write me a quick DM saying "you should go **** yourself".

Glad you won't be coming to Fort Lauderdale anymore, Boston904. Good luck and stay classy.

Honestly, after the OP stereotyped the people who use these scooters, that comment doesn’t surprise me.

E Scooters are out of control in Ft. Lauderdale yes because most of those people riding those things are not native born Americans and many don't speak or understand english which is why they don't obey traffic laws.

They have been around in various configurations for over a century

See any Segways being used by civilians?
