Also, being hit by an e-bike is liable to cause much less serious injury than being hit by an SUV or even a sedan. It doesn’t mean there’s no danger, but it’s fallacious to freak out over pedestrian safety wrt bikes while ignoring the much greater danger from cars and making excuses not to encourage mode switching from cars to cycling.
For escooters the safety tier is: - protected bike lanes (safest) - side walk - sharing low-speed roads (think riding in the middle of the lane on a 15-20mph road) - unprotected bike lane
