Purely anecdotal but in my mind, one of the biggest barriers would be public sentiment? I remember when Lime launched here in New Zealand and suddenly, all of these scooters appeared on the footpaths. Over time, they would go from nice, neat rows of four to being discarded on the pavement, becoming obstacles to walk around. Obviously, it's the customers who have left them strewn on the pavement but in my mind, I associate that untidiness with Lime. Without their business, there wouldn't be scooters freely available to be left lying around. Anyway, personally, I'm glad to see Lime and all of the other scooter businesses go away. It felt like more of a fad that would go away but I say that not having used one either. I'd rather walk and listen to some podcasts. On a side note, I thoroughly enjoyed this talk about e-scooter security from Matthew Garrett last year: Part 1: https://youtu.be/wU5ghVvwfGE https://youtu.be/wU5ghVvwfGE Part 2: https://youtu.be/BMQnxugfwUI https://youtu.be/BMQnxugfwUI
