But you can't gas(electric?) it until it's over 5km/hr so it needs a running start.
New people need an area to just practice before taking it at full speed (20km/hr)

stepping on the rear fender is a brake too.
i've enjoyed using them; they do accelerate pretty quick if you jam down the throttle immediately as opposed to gradually ramping up... and the turning radius can be an adjustment from a bike...and the ppl that aren't used to them should probably stay away from crowded sidewalks or pathways...
i'd be surprised if the number of accidents didn't decrease over time though as ppl get used to them...
now, if they could only figure out a way to penalize the people that don't park them properly, i'd say they have been a really fun addition to have.
