I don't understand how jumping curbs is supposed to be a problem, that's just something you have to do to get around sometimes. It also seems like something that hitting potholes would easily get confused for.

    Scooters are supposed to be on the street. There is no need to jump any curbs.

    Where I'm from there's still a plenty of combined pedestrian/bike paths that have an annoyingly high curb after every crosswalk.

    I'll say again. Scooters are supposed to be on the street. Not on bike paths or sidewalks.

    Well you'd be wrong. The law says they belong on bike paths here, and a lot of the time sidewalks are combined paths where bikes are supposed to go.
