My city had issues after the escooter craze started. They outlawed them on side walks and started giving a lot of tickets to people who kept doing it. Not sure if it worked or the craze died down.

I assume more the latter.

Even in the places I'm familiar with which still allow escooter rentals, my observation is you don't really see very many of them--either being ridden or littering the sidewalks. It does seem to be one of those things that, while you still see them, appear to have mostly been a fad. At least in the cities I'm familiar with.
