It takes 24h at most to register on the "Vespa" sharing service with a driving license.
And yes once you have a "small" 2 wheel vehicle people are gonna ride them on sidewalks and park them on sidewalks.
For all practical purpose the width bubble is the same around the e-scooter and a Vespa, unless you want to be borderline suicidal with the e-scooter.
The only thing that's different is the required athleticism to mount and dismount as well as parking the "Vespa" on the stand.
I reckon maybe they solved the problem of people riding the e-scooter in the opposite sense on the road and the problem of people lifting the e- scooter to transport the e-scooter to areas which are completely closed to vehicles and then riding it there
