Meanwhile, like every other US state New Jersey has made absolutely zero effort to include these inevitable vehicles in any road or transportation planning whatsoever, guaranteeing that every time one is used it’s either getting in the way of a driver or bringing a motor into an otherwise non-motorized space. Thereby generating legislation that ensures the “maximum pain” period of increasing adopting with zero infrastructure support lasts as long as possible.
Yeah, that’s the main problem. They are obviously here, and people obviously want to use them, so they will. Pretending like they dont exist only makes things suck for everyone.
Specifically, that clear policy needs to include funding and planning for micromobility infrastructure. I want to emphasize, the real important missing piece here is infrastructure.
This is something that even the bike-friendly European nations seem to be struggling with at the moment.

We need clear policy and enforcement.
