Micromobility (bikeshare, scootershare)

[dtkvictim]

I have no data. And I don't know where to find any.

But ...

• Commuters will be typically relatively experienced
  
• e-scooters are rather expensive to use for regular commuting
  
• The e-scooter business model encourages ad-hoc trips (maybe little experience)
  
• Many bicyclists have many years of experience, having started as children
  

But, yes, it's only a hypothesis, I have no hard evidence.

Please note I am not defending any particular proposal, but I do tend to agree with their assumption for this particular aspect.

e-scooters != shared e-scooter companies.

I have no idea of the current breakdown in miles from rentals vs. owned, or what a future breakdown would look like, but it's entirely possible to buy your own scooter.

I am not necessarily disagreeing with your position, or the argument, but I find their arguments entirely uncompelling as justification.

Yeah, the survey in question for primarily about personal scooters. From the survey description:

Your response will inform staff reports to City and Regional Councils on if and where personally-owned e-scooters can be ridden in Waterloo Region. Based on the decision of the respective councils on where e-scooters can go, staff will also consider requirements for e-scooter rental companies (scooter-share) that wish to operate in our community.
