    Scooters are already quite regulated. Max speed 25kph (not allowed to be capable of more than that on level ground) Max weight 25kg Max size 125 by 70 by135 cm

    https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/road-safety-commission/erideables The hire ones are all compliant with the regulations.

    The hire ones also have GPS in them that is used to determine when they are in pedestrian areas where the speed gets limited to 10kph automatically. Probably not the greatest on narrow streets.
