Obviously this person is insane but the law isn't much better. It is legal to buy an electric scooter but not to use it on public land/roads. You can use a rented one in certain trial cities.

When I was a teen, I attempted (usually unsuccessfully) to fly radio control model aircraft which were on 27Mhz AM back then. You could buy a US CB radio which was also on 27Mhz (and had more power) but you weren't allowed to use it! Naturally, the CB radio would swamp the r/c signal.

It can only help to thin out the gene pool.

Unfortunately so.

Look at all the crashes of these things in the News recently, and the occupants getting severely injured - sometimes mortally. And its the Driver of the Vehicle who foots the cost of repairs on their insurance, as well as having to deal with a potentially harrowing injury.
