I think that's to protect the person on the scooter from the people in the trucks

I get the point but fuck e scooters, especially rental ones. They don't replace car journeys, they replace walking or bus/train journeys, all of which are better for the environment than an escooter or ebike.

That is not true in places with poor public transport. They are used in place of cars by many for their daily commute where I live and they are not going walking distances.

Considering these kind of stats, you'd be terrified to see the mass and force of subways and trains which also go through cities.
