I was forced to stop riding years ago and my bike was priced at about that price. Imagine, $1500 for a bike that weighed 19 pounds.

I thought my ebike was cheap at $1,5000. I have a 2004 Trek Madone, the new Trek Madones list from $4,000 to $12,000.

Here in Virginia, gas powered scooters under 50cc are street legal just like a moped or bicycle and do not require a motor cycle or driver's license. However, 2 or 3 years ago Virginia passed a law requiring license plates and registration.

Most if not all government parks require all vehicles to be street legal and appropriately licensed. No way an electric scooter, hoover board or whatever is street legal.

A bicycle and even an electric assist bicycle is street legal and no license is required.

I wasn’t talking about ‘resorts up north’ but here’s an excerpt from the rules (one of the very first Google hits) from a c/g in Myrtle Beach;

“Outside of standard cars, trucks and RVs, no motorized vehicles are permitted in the resort. This includes, but is not limited to, ATV’s, (both 3 and 4 wheelers), NEV’s, motorized scooters, motorized bicycles, mini-bikes, sling shot trikes, dune buggies, hoverboards, personal golf carts and utility vehicles.”

this is on this resorts website

Can't say I known anything about resorts up north
I rarely use resorts down here
But the campgrounds I have been TOO
I don't see any kids on segways or folding electric bikes
They do like skate boards, bicycles, even those electric unicycle things
Parks do have rules for safety etc
But I see no effective difference between a folding electric scooter
And those take apart electric ride on scooter board's with a seat and basket
That were so popular with ageing RV'rs a few years back

Yes, and the park rules at most parks say the only powered devices allowed are licensed insured vehicles and mobility aids for handicapped individuals.

Many of them specifically prohibit hover boards, Segways and electric bikes and scooters because they’re way to attractive to kids that just want to buzz around on them potentially endangering themselves and others or pets.

That is exactly what I have and I love it and my grandkids love it more...
