Does anyone even use these things? Not these specific ones but rental electric scooters
I see them used occasionally but not anywhere near as often as I see them sitting around. They're expensive per minute.
It's pretty sad how prohibitively expensive they are to use. E-scooters (and e-bike rentals, priced similarly) can be a really useful last-mile transportation tool when not treated as a novelty and given appropriate infrastructure not to cause major issues (e.g. blocking and being used on sidewalks).
