Nice discussion about scooters today on NPR. Excellent comparisons to how Bicycles were first treated by cities 100 years ago to how scooters are being treated today. Listen here:You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
This comes as a surprise to me. I do think some of the companies "went wild" with bringing the machines in, and are responsible for much of this seeming backlash of strict regulations that have cut into their profit margins.
Saw this on the SDCC blog twitter feed. No more Lime scooters in San Diego. The article references Lime losing $46,000 during Comic Con due to impounded scooters. You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sounds like folk either did not know regulations, or....ignored them.
I think the company is responsible for the fines. I remember waiting in line early one morning at the Amazon activation and seeing a big truck being loaded up by city workers with tons of scooters. Frankly I found the scooters impractical when used close to the convention center. Certain areas of Gaslamp were “slow speed” areas, the scooters would throttle down to such a slow speed it was faster to walk.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
