Do they actually sell them? Who is buying this from them? I've seen a few homeless with them, but assumed they were trying to strip them down to recycle the metal, not sell for parts. Anyone actually know?
- bifrost 8y agoI've not stopped to ask, I'm assuming that someone's figured out how to remove the proprietary parts so that the scooters can be reused at will. I think metal recycling is also probable. I've heard that some scooter companies will offer rewards for scooters that were "lost" then returned, so thats probably pretty lucrative.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI would love for someone to do an investigative piece on this, to determine the unit economics of shucking the scooter as well as talk to those doing this.
