Eventually every scooter will be stolen, GPS disabled and board replaced. They are commodity Xiaomi scooters, retailing for hundreds of dollars. They can be stolen and rebirthed for <$50. Scooter rental was a terrible idea, and the assets of the companies will be redistributed to masses.
- randyrand 8y agoThe same can be said for bikes and bike locks. I don’t think enough people steal for it to prevent all bicycling. Perhaps there is still benefit.
- goobynight 8y agoIt certainly prevents many people from leaving unattended bicycles out after dark or using them during this time. Not just after midnight or something. If you do anything except daytime ride, you're liable to get messed with in some cities. People largely just accept thieves in their society.
