...currently (at least where I live) these motorized vehicles legally share the same bicycle lanes and MUP's as bicycles. There appears to be no age limit on who can climb on board and ride one, and there is zero enforcement on excess speed, on places like the American river MUP. I don't find it unreasonable that the topic gains some traction in the bicycle community at large. I know I encounter a lot of them, and not all of the ones I encounter seem harmless to the community at large. I could say the same about some cyclists, I guess. They just have less mass and power to create havoc.
