I agree. Besides taking an Uber approach to sidewalk limitations, I don't really see any use case for this that a moped or bike doesn't do better.

  Honestly this just may spur people to use bicycles, or moped style scooters as are common in Europe. The type of people to use these scooters are exactly the types that would likely use a bike. Or a Vespa.

      Helsinki has some docked-bicycles which cost €20/year if you take journeys of 30 minutes or less. They seem to appear in spring and disappear in autumn, so no cheap bicycles in the winter. That said there are a _lot_ of people who continue to cycle even in winter (-25'C is coldest I've experienced over the past three years), and the snow/ice doesn't seem to stop them. Though of course fat-tyres, and ice-studs are a given.
