I like that they exist, but I think there are way too many companies competing. I would rather see the EU: 1. require that they cooperate on one app to us

I like that they exist, but I think there are way too many companies competing.
I would rather see the EU:
1. require that they cooperate on one app to use to rent them, and require that all scooters in any EU city work with that app
2. require the use of helmets
3. require designated parking areas (this could maybe be a city by city choice I guess)
I fully expect that if such rules were enforced, many of the companies would likely just choose to move their operation elsewhere. I'm fine with this, dumping scooters on the streets because there are no laws saying they can't is a vile approach to business.

It would definitely be great for all EU cities to work within the same framework and allow me to use a single app between cities, but I do not think EU should be meddling with such regulations. In my opinion, this should be left for each country (even each city/municipality) to decide. Citizens of countries and even the cities themselves - as most cities do not have e-scooters - should be able to have a say on how to run their respective territories without the EU imposing regulations left and right.
