That turns it into an effectively docked scooter. It’s been tried and isn’t terrible, but not as beloved as true dockless.

- jpao79 8y agoI think it solves the major issues with docked scooters/bikes which is the infrastructure cost of installing the large docking stations which increases the rollout costs. This artificially creates a monopoly on bike sharing in a given city. It also limits the number of stations that can cost effectively exist.
- ggg9990 8y agoTwo big problems with docked remain with “pseudodocked” — 1) need to get approval to eliminate a parking space and 2) users have to walk a bit at the start and/or end of the journey.
