You need to arrange for people to pick up and recharge your scooters for you. That takes some time. Frictionless tripstart/tripstop is a hard technical problem. Probably whoever does this right wins. Long term, efficiently addressing

For smaller concerns, it is one of the few mechanisms that larger competitors actually respect. A small patent portfolio can form a basis for negotiations of all kinds that simply wouldn't take place otherwise.

The claim is that using N numbers per square will result in the pattern holding for N rows, for arbitrarily large N.
