So sick of seeing lazy journalists lumping the “razor” style electric scooters that you can fold up and carry with one hand with the “Vespa” types like the Revel scooters that literally weigh 10 times as much and can travel 2-3 times faster. Last year when that actress was killed she was hit by a motorcycle that happened to have an electric motor but all the news media showed stock video footage of Bird-type scooters anytime they covered the story.
Also missing here is how many New York pedestrians are killed each year by cars.
