If you don’t safe to riding on the street (I wouldn’t either), and you endanger people by riding on the sidewalk, then either find a street with a bike lane or just don’t ride the scooter. The purpose of sidewalks is that they’re safe for pedestrians and not vehicular traffic.

You can also just ride carefully on the sidewalk and get off the scooter when you come up on a pedestrian. I’d love to feel safe riding in the street, but not in this city.

That’d be fine by me but I haven’t seen anyone doing that :( a few do slow down to pass but most are speeding

Assholes/idiots will be assholes/idiots. I do what I can to be reasonable. Street if it’s empty. Carefully on the sidewalk if it’s not. Obviously wish everyone did the same.
