I no longer ride bike paths with my pedal bikes at all due to the speed differential and idiot factor on bike paths.
I do actually ride the e-scoot on then occationally (maybe 10% of the time) as it is easier to just motor along at the average speed of the other users and you are not hyped up about how fast you can pedal/endorphins/adrenaline.
My 40 kg scoot can do 30~35 kph flat out my velomobile can sit on 45 Kph cruising without great effort and will sprint a hell of a lot faster.
My road bike was a bit slower but not alot and the brakes suck on most road bikes.
Which do you think is safer on a bike path? I have ridden both and made an educated decision.

Ultimately if an idiot is riding the bike they are all dangerous to others, and there appears to be a higher idiot quotient on bike paths.
