An important cost factor is the 'juicer': the person that picks up, charges and returns the scooter to the street. They make a few euros per scooter per night.

An important cost factor is the 'juicer': the person that picks up, charges and returns the scooter to the street. They make a few euros per scooter per night. See for example https://www.ridester.com/lime-charger/ https://www.ridester.com/lime-charger/ I remember reading somewhere a number of Euro 6,50 for a guy working somewhere in Europe. But cannot find that anymore. I also wonder what the lifespan is. I regularly see damaged scooters and I think most are not well treated. But in general I guess they potentially can make good money because otherwise there would not be so many.
