Seems like the Scooter is not popular and only useful for a niche segment of the population.
The bike sharing business has caused a hazard in places like China, because of the unrestricted dumping. So there is definitely a point that government needs to chime in and do some stuff.
- oh-kumudo 8y agoSame. They really needs to work on their public images as out-of-touch entitled manchild.
- s0rce 8y agoIf they are not popular why is there a need to regulate them, they will simply go out of business. Also, I see people riding them all the time in the East Bay.
- noobermin 8y agoThey are popular amongst those who ride, not all people who use the sidewalk and street, which is a larger segment of the population. Might as well ask why we need smoking areas in buildings.
- jonathankoren 8y agoBecause it's a problem with oversupply. And sure, eventually they'll go under, but there's no reason why everyone should have to kick their way through VC funded lithium trash, just to walk down the street until they do. Oh yeah, and when they do go under, you're still going to be left with all this detritus, because when the company ceases to exist, it won't be picking them up. Here, you can force the dumpers to still clean up their mess.
