I've read the scooters top out around 25km/h so are they really any more dangerous than a cyclist going that speed? I've seen a lot of cyclists go faster 30km/h on the trails... Bikesnob's review of Portland's scooter trial made me a lot less apprehensive of the whole scooter thing. I've mostly stopped using the laurel trail through the university area unless it's late at night or some other time when pedestrian traffic is low.
