UK e-scooter owners, what's your experience of using them in public?

They are everywhere. I don't use one myself, someone at my work uses one to get across town every day to work though, said he's literally rode passed police and they aren't remotely interested. He doesn't look like a yob though, he looks like someone using it as transport to work, so maybe they just aren't that bothered. I ride a bike to and from work myself, and I must see at a minimum 5 of them on my trip down the cycle tracks... they are everywhere. I remember a single picture of our town police, stood by about 7/8 scooters, saying how they'd done a big crack down and confiscated loads of scooters over the course of 24 hours... and couldn't help but think I've literally seen more scooters than their entire haul, in a single 30 minute bike ride.... what on earth where they doing for 24 hours? --- At this point, I just say legislate them. The main problem I have with them ride now, isn't the scooters themselves, but the types of people on average that are happy to use a known illegal form of transport giving them a bad name. make them legal, rentable with an app, like they are in the US, or even legal private owned... like a generic electric bike that anyone can buy! They make sense, they are cheap, green, personal transport. Reduce traffic. Save people money... Like... what's not to love!
