> They reduce car usage which is better for both pedestrians and car users.

Most stats show that they don't reduce car usage, the people using them aren't people that give up cars, but people that give up on walking or taking public transport.

I've only seen one stat and it shows that, in Atlanta, following an E-efooter ban, average commute times increased 10%.

About Atlanta, this is a ban on e-scooter and e-bikes in day times.

About Paris, this is a ban on rental e-scooter.
