Is this a rental thing or do you "own" the vehicle?
(Own is in quotations becsuse what you and I would consider to be ownership isn't necessarily what the LAW says is ownership)
Sir, this is 2026.
You're not even allowed to ride your own in the UK. At least not in public areas.
Lime is one of those scooter share companies that dumped a bunch of electric scooters in city centers overnight with QR codes to use an app to pay to unlock and begin riding them
Which you’d think would need some sort of permit or approval process? But it looks like you can just do whatever you want if you have the $$$
I’m absolutely sick of them. I get home from work at dick o’clock and always have to make sure there’s not one lying down in the middle of my parking spot.
Well you see, permits can be rejected, and the time spent getting a permit is time spent not making money, so by requesting a permit after they dump them in a city and get people hooked on the idea they can make money during that time and build a customer base to advocate for them. Because governments would never apply regulations to misbehaving businesses! What do you think this is, China?
Seriously though, the success of these scooter and bike share services just goes to show the innate demand for better public transit that our cities aren't meeting, and by partnering with these micromobility companies they're basically giving up on actually providing for their citizens needs
