This sounds fixable with some technology. So, I'm dreaming here, but a scooter with 2-3 times the battery life, able to self balance and limp (1-2mph, with flashing lights) on the edge of the road (or sidewalk if allowed) back to a charging station (or to a high traffic area based on some predictive algo) would fix almost every problem in their current business plan. I know that the self driving bit is far from trivial (understatement of the decade) but at very low speed you can stop, get out of the way, phone home for some help. Simplified scenario, and likely full of holes, but you get my idea.
