I don't understand why this is a shitpost
I live in Europe. I once completely crashed one, along with myself, due to a huge pothole. Even though it's totally obvious what happened based on speed data alone, they never reached out to me about it.
Should be noted it was fully functional, just probably scratched, maybe the handlebar slightly misaligned.
I'm in Finland. We have pedestrian/bike paths that sometimes go under roads. Over here the underpass tunnels sometimes get flooded in the heavy rains.
In the Plague Years, I was on an app scoot when it was raining, noticed the underpass had water up to my ankles, so I said "YOLOoooo" out loud and pushed through. Even though the official app scoot company policy at the time was Will You Please Not Do That.
Hey, the scoot was completely fine! Received no complaints! You see, fleet vehicles like these are pretty sturdy compared to retail models. A little bit of water? No problem. I assume the scoots they have to fish out of the river, or find from under the snow banks when they melt in the spring, may have some mechanical problems, yeah.
True, they are quite durable. And it makes perfect sense. Otherwise the companies would have to spend considerably more on repairs or replacements, and potentially go out of business. Though sometimes people overestimate this sturdiness (or more likely just don't care). In Romania, or at least in Bucharest, it's quite common to find rental scooters thrown in the river. Not sure if they're able to survive it.
Those scooters exist in Romania? I would've thought they'd get stolen on Day 1, scrapped for parts and sold online lol.
Should be noted it was fully functional, just probably scratched, maybe the handlebar slightly misaligned.
Impressive stuff no doubt, well done mate. And how did the scooter fare?
While we're here ... how do you go about removing the batteries from these things? (For academic purposes only, of course.)
You can remove them with the following:
1 part gasoline
1 part motor oil, ATF, diesel or whatever you have
A wine bottle
A rag soaked in gasoline
A lighter.
It won't remove them in the original condition they were in while still inside the scooter but it will remove them.
Now that's just wasteful.
You must not waste the batteries in scooters, the gold in flock cameras or the ram in data centers. I believe Jesus said this. Now pray with me
And wear dark tinted goggles and cover your lower face. Wear gloves.
For safety. Of course.

That's actually fair, they don't want people trashing their equipment.
So make sure to just smash up all the abandoned ones littering the streets.
I wonder what kind of message they zap to people's phones when the lime bikes are dumped into rivers & lakes & dumpsters?
It would be kinda stupid to rent it to do that. I think most people who do that just pick it up when its standing around somewhere
Yeah I was being facetious. Those things annoy me so much all I want to do is throw them into a dumpster.
Why? They're like so useful
Probably they prefer a manly, gas or diesel powered taxi.
Never thought I'd live to see the day where they outlawed tricks smh
I mean, to be fair, at least they give you a warning. And honestly, I think it's pretty fair to not allow things that wear down the scooter quickly.

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.
Huh. The chinese rideshare mopeds have a little speaker that begs you to stop violating traffic law and ride safely, but the literally only dock your score for trying to destroy the bike or abandoning it blocking traffic. You can steal 1 moped for every 100 rides and still maintain a perfect score.

To the Faraday cages with you!
"Removal of shoes is not allowed on a PaveCorp sidewalk. A $20 surcharge has been added to your walk today."
The trick is to ride away smoothly.
