It's probably fortunate that they weren't a bigger thing as the injury rates are incredibly high:

A total of 1272 ED/urgent care patient visits were identified over the summers of 2019 and 2020, a large sample size compared to many other published e-scooter injury studies [1]. E-scooter injuries represented 15% of transportation-related injuries in Calgary emergency departments, with an incident rate per ride of 1 injury requiring an emergency department visit for every 1400 e-scooter trips.
