> These scooters do in fact substitute for cars. Do they? Is there good evidence of that? I'm pretty skeptical, and from a google search I don't see that - and others seem to be similarly skeptical (outside of companies that own scooter companies...). It actually seems likely that the same people that would bike or take public transit would ride scooters - and that seems like the wrong direction to go.
