Even with that napkin math, the value to not have to own the asset, insure it against theft, or carry it around constantly is still worth it to some consumers.

Even with that napkin math, the value to not have to own the asset, insure it against theft, or carry it around constantly is still worth it to some consumers. The spontaneity of "hop on and ride, then forget about it" is the appeal.
- baby 7y agoThis. A friend of mine bought one but still rides some from times to times when its practical. He also owns a car but still rides uber from times to times.
- bransonf 7y agoYou’re right about that value add, but it’s probably not a value add for anyone using an electric scooter as a daily means of transportation. One of the biggest detractors is that you could ride a scooter to work and when you go to leave, realize the nearest scooter is half a mile away.
