Paris officially the first city in Europe to ban e-scooters. What are the rules in other countries?

We should disincentivize antisocial behavior rather than ban specific technologies. If rental e-scooters left in the middle of the sidewalk are a problem, require rental companies to provide parking where the e-scooter must be docked at the end of the journey, for example.
As long as e-scooters are primarily replacing car trips, they are a net benefit to society. Let's iron out the wrinkles instead of an outright ban.

No they are not actually banned, it's the rental ones that are banned. You can use your own if you want.
