Very optimistic of you to think they actually tested it :)

I don't think it works that way.. on paper it sure looks the way you said but I'm 99% sure there's all sorts of gentlemen agreements and other back channel stuff going on there.

No worries, it appears that most of the world uses the word "scooter" differently than we do in the Netherlands :-) with your definition of scooter I agree that my statement was ridiculous haha.

Yeah it's my bad as apparently most of the world uses the word differently :-) I'm a big fan of electric vehicles, both the noise and pollution are reduced which is great!

That's why I said compared to their speed. I don't know any brands or example models, all of them are obnoxiously loud and driven by simple minded fools imho. Cars make relatively little noise, and newborns and trees do not belong in this comparison in my opinion.

Edit: tried to find a picture, seems these are not universally called scooters even though they are where I live. I mean models like this: https://www.scooterforyou.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/34_G7_99_KISBEESPORTLINE-1.jpg

Ugh yes, and ban scooters and motors as well, they make such a ridiculous amount of noise compared to their speed.

I feel this is missing a couple of !important statements :)

It used to be required at a lot of camping pools because the longer shorts would take too much water out of the pool.. nowadays it's not often required anymore in my experience.

Maybe sending people like you back to level it out could work?

In my opinion these parties are often mentioning valid issues or things that could be improved in society, and people vote for that. The problem is these parties don't really have solutions either, but that's something that doesn't show up until after the elections...

You'd still be running Windows though so why bother

You'd need a way to run HomeAssistant and some interface to talk Zigbee, like the Conbee 2 or the SkyConnect mentioned here. I was looking into purchasing the SkyConnect last week after hearing about this Philips Hue crap but am not convinced it's the way to go, I found several reports of reduced range with SkyConnect compared to the Conbee. See for example https://community.home-assistant.io/t/conbee-ii-vs-skyconnect-performance/545759/2 or https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/86231. Personally waiting a bit before I purchase either option as I have a hub that works now, but leaning towards the Conbee2 at the moment.
