I work for a company whose product requires periodically removing trash from rivers and reservoirs. When the rent-an-e-scooter places came to my town I was absolutely sure that we would end up dredging these things out of the river by the dozens. Strangely, not many ended up in there. I haven't used one so I'm not sure how they prevent it but whatever they do is startlingly effective.
- anonred 4y agoMost scooters are decently heavy, maybe 40-50 lbs. Carrying one some distance to a river while it beeps at you probably takes enough effort to deter casual hooligans.
- bluefirebrand 4y agoThe downtown of a lot of cities has bridges over rivers that would be trivial to huck those e-scooters into. We found a car2go in the river once, apparently.
- idiotsecant 4y agoOur downtown has a pretty extensive riverfront connected to the sidewalk system, it's trivially easy to ride a scooter right up to the river, lift it over a 3 foot guard rail, and pitch it into the river!
