Sure _if_ there’s a scooter nearby _and_ it’s charged… Then there’s the issue of needing a half dozen scooter apps all to use / find a scooter near you. The problem only becomes worse if there’s a group of people… These scooters are mostly just expensive trash laying around cities.

- dragontamer 4y agoIf the nearby scooter is out of battery, you don't got a scooter at all. That's probably the ultimate inconvenience. You thought you had a ride, but you actually didn't.
- Closi 4y agoThe app tells you if it has battery - you go to the app and it shows you a map of all the nearest scooters with charge rather than wonder up to random scooters.
