there’s a stigma to just riding a scooter. it’s not cool. during the rent a scooter craze the lamest thing you could do was buy your own scooter for $500. i don’t know why but they have to get over that barrier before people will accept it without using it. bikes appear to have crossed that barrier, sometimes
- vmception 5y agowhy are you and the grandparent poster talking in past tense southern california still has a lot of scooters and it is a bit more organized than it was in the past but not remarkably different, people still buy their own scooters and the major e-scooter providers have plans for you to buy your own dedicated scooter of their brand, this article is also talking in the present tense and referring to existing californian markets too
