I recently visited Paris, scooters were everywhere and was extremely useful for 2 mile or less trips. Traffic sucks, Ubers take to long and walking is walking. I was impressed by quality and price. 15 min was about 2.5 euros.
So many failures
Love the concept as a user but as a business I don’t see how they will ever be profitable. Too much overhead to manage for low margins
Would use scooters daily if available in Seattle. Please make this a thing
You could, er buy one?
Not a great business model.
As someone who is at the receiving end of irresponsible and rude af customers of these businesses, I don’t foresee a bright future. I’m not the only one who feels this way, thus why I think it’s a bit dim.
Might as well set money on fire. It would be less work and more fun. FOMO leads to incredibly shit business decisions.
How hard is it to remove the cell network connection and just take one home?
None.
