They're so much worse than bikes. The design encourages you to be reckless and they're not nearly as easy to control as a bike. The wheels are too small to handle uneven ground well so you could hit a bump you didn't see at 25-30kmh and eat pavement. And I've seen several people walking their personal e-scooters that have run out of battery. They're too heavy to kick push like a normal scooter whereas an ebike is still a bike if it runs out of battery.
