These scooters are all but sustainable. They’re just a sick byproduct of VC-fueled startups that will potentially never turn a profit. To me they’re just like a meth sore of late stage urban capitalism. I’m confident that money getting more expensive with higher interest rates will have the positive effect of clearing the field from a lot of this BS that provides absolutely no added value to urban life in most cities. Also, here in Berlin these things are insanely expensive for what they offer. We’re talking about prices comparable to a carsharing car ride for the same stretch. If anything, carsharing is actually cheaper sometimes. (Yes, I know that’s also a problematic VC-fueled hallucination, especially here in Berlin).
