Yes, “regular” bicycles as well. One of the reasons it’s so much more dangerous is that pedestrians will (generally) look before stepping out onto a road - but not when, say, stepping out of a garden gate or doorway onto a pavement. So they could literally step out in front of you with no warning. It’s still a metal object travelling at speed and can do plenty of damage, especially to a small child or elderly person (for the elderly any fall can be very serious).
