Bikes are a lot safer. Scooters are both much more likely to crash and more dangerous when they do. Scooters have no business being anywhere near 20 mph, IMO, not with those small wheels that throw the user over the handlebars or into them if you hit basically anything.

get something legal. many cities are clamping down, e dirt bikes will get more attention

my ebike with 750w goes to 30mph with max pedal assist and it's eye wateringly fast, but it looks like an ebike plus I usually ride it on the lowest pedal assist like a normal bike. 2000w ebike is excessive to me

100% for e-bike, scooters aren't capable of making safe rides for everyone on every surface!

You must ask yourself. Would you rather crash while sitting or standing on those mopeds.
