They also pointed out that other countries in Europe set the age between 12 and 16.
I have mixed feelings about this. When I was that age, I had a bike and used it as my main mode of transportation. Is a scooter significantly more dangerous? I suppose it must be, if kids are getting injured at the rates they are.
And kids can still operate non-motorized bikes, scooters, etc.

Nah, they ain't. What they are though is easier to get carefree with. You have to expend yourself on the bike and you both feel and know the speed and it's possible consequences. We've all fallen from bike, eh?
But electric scooter? Pretty much self-stabilizing, and self-accelerating machine. No consequence tied to it mentally.

I thought scooters had much higher risk of serious brain injury than bikes
