Everybody hates these rental scooters, I've yet to find somebody IRL or even who can pass a Turing test online who enjoys them or thinks they're a good idea.

- satvikpendem 3y agoI like(d) them, they were great last mile vehicles, smaller than bicycles and all electric so I didn't have to pedal. Now they did have their problems such as cluttering up cities but they were fun.
- holler 3y agoI think they're one of the most enjoyable personal mobility inventions in modern times.
- presidentender 3y agoI really like 'em when I'm in a city for a work trip. I have a truck at home. I don't have a car at an offsite. Being able to get around is nice. SF's muni buses are crowded and slow and the frequent stops are nauseating. Denver might have public transit, but a Lime bike or scooter is more convenient.
- blindriver 3y agoMy friend and I had an amazing time scootering around SF a few years ago. Dangerous as hell but fun as hell too. I think it cost $20/scooter for several hours, completely worth it. That said, I do think that just leaving the scooters around is exploiting loopholes and is a nuisance.
- coryrc 3y agoYou would never say that about the cars everywhere taking up hundreds of times the space per vehicle.
- ahahahahah 3y agoNo shit, because those cars are in spaces designed for them not strewn all over the place.
- estebank 3y agoWhen I walk my dogs around the neighborhood I can count more cars blocking the sidewalk than scooters.
- grogers 3y agoCars aren't littered randomly on every sidewalk. If they were, everyone would be up in arms about it. Converting existing parking spaces into dedicated bike/scooter parking seems like the better option if you want more scooters and less cars.
- cellis 3y ago> Cars aren't littered randomly on every sidewalk. Exactly, they're just littered everywhere.
- timthelion 3y agoIn Czechia they are just littered everywhere on the sidewalk.
- satvikpendem 3y agoI would, actually. We should just ban private vehicles in cities, they're nigh useless unlike between cities, and even that could be solved with high speed rail transit à la Asia.
- LanzVonL 3y agoI say, you have to go back.
