Micromobility (bikeshare, scootershare)

[ijmorlan]

Well, the bottom line is that services of this nature should have fixed parking stations. The way Communauto does it is right (except that their cars need to be returned to the same space, which I understand for their service but would make a scooter service much less useful). Just because scooters and bicycles don’t take up as much space as a car doesn’t mean it’s reasonable to expect to be able to park them just anywhere at the end of a trip. If one ends up on my lawn I might try to disable the charging features and re-paint it if successful.
