I'd be interested to see a cost breakdown. I found the scooters useful at $5-$10 a ride, which certainly covers the cost of a scooter, electricity, and a guy to drive around in a van.
My first guess would be that theft and vandalism made the system fail, at least in major American cities.

- UncleMeat 4y agoDoes it? If you aren't getting a bunch of scooters at once, the cost of the driver and the van adds up. And these companies have a bunch of expensive software engineers that need to be paid too. The company my dad worked for once ran a program enabling temporary bike access during the London Olympics. They underestimated the cost of getting the bikes to the places they needed to be to maximize utilization and ended up losing a bunch on the contract.
