I'm also a cyclist but am pro-scooter...but, yes, I found that super disturbing. In fairness, the lifespan is 4 months. 3 months of profitability. Either way, it sounds crazy wasteful. Obvious questions arise (and answers are alluded to in the article): How much of old scooters are reclaimed? Obviously some scooters are stolen / utterly destroyed...but for the ones that break down, is some percentage re-used? Also, are there planned improvements to the lifespan? These companies have been operating for a crazy short amount of time considering their growth...so hopefully they can improve this as they bring the scooter design in-house.
