With these startups it seems the only barrier to entry is money. Who ever can raise more can buy more scooters.
Risky however if cities ban them and/or roll out their own.
- visarga 8y agoThat would be myopic - scooters are more city friendly - almost zero pollution and waste less energy. Instead they should expand the bike lanes everywhere. One serious advantage of scooters over bikes is that you don't arrive full of sweat at your destination.
- Symbiote 8y agoIf you're adding a motor to the scooter, you may as well add one to the bicycle and have better handling and a higher speed.
- joeblau 8y agoThat's effectively what Jump Bikes are. I took one last week in SF and they go about 30 miles an hour with very little effort. They aren't fully electric though, just electric assist.
