Yeah this. It's reasonable if the companies are and the system is.

But for instance Ryde scooters in my city had most of their brakes set pretty friggin tight, so that pretty much any application of the rear bake lead to skidding.

I know kids do it on purpose, and I did enjoy skidding a corner or two, but tried doing it minimally. Couldn't help myself though, especially because 50% at least were just useful accidents.

But my point is that if the rear brake wasn't as tight, I wouldn't have skidded at all.
