In the UK, many of these solutions are held back by regulation - electric scooters aren't legal yet, despite a significant fraction of the population using them.
Similarly for electric velomobiles and bicycles, limited to 15mph is limiting given that many cities have large 20mph zones.
Once the regulation has caught up, I can see the price dropping for many of these vehicles. There are gaps in the market for (weatherproof!) city transport for 1+1/luggage eg. for shopping, school runs, work commute, mobility etc.
As far as scooters go, with such small wheels, they put you at risk every pothole. Hire scooters should really be using 12" or larger to be safe. They're also not weatherproof so not ideal for many demographics and locations. Agreed that we need more innovative transportation though!
