Also, scooters (and even e-bikes) have different acceleration curves than road bikes.

If you are doing less than 20-25mph when cruising at speed, you’re impeding bike traffic. Scooters are currently capped at 15mph, so they don’t belong in bike lanes.

(Not saying there shouldn’t be scooter lanes, just that they don’t mix with bikes)

Bikes do not cruise at 20-25 unless you are hauling ass, more like 12mph for most people (and iirc that's the speed google maps bases it's bike estimates on). Most scooters I see pass bikes.
