The article shows a graphic showing 3 scooter related deaths in 2022. They state that 15000 scooters have been removed from the streets of Paris (presumably rentals since private is not banned) but fail to state the total number of scooters. Other useful bits of information omitted are were:

Were those deaths pedestrians or riders? (Given that the complaints were about sidewalk riding) How many bicycles are in use in Paris and what is the death ratio there? Are bicycle accidents less severe than scooter accidents?

I imagine that I’d rather be hit by a scooter than speared by a bicycle but maybe scooter riders are just more out of control. There is so much detail that could be covered in these sorts of articles but they always seem to disappoint.

The only interesting insight made was that the decision was most likely skewed by older voters who don’t ride.
