How could they have possibly failed?

[cyclotic]

That’s too bad. I’ve used them and feel they fill a good need. But there are also too many alternatives and their product is too easy to destroy.

When they first came out, they were all over my neighborhood in Santa Monica. They were a nuisance and the riders would just leave them anywhere - alley’s, sidewalks, in the street. I will not miss them.

I hope I did my part by pushing them out in the parking lane so they would get run over by parkers too lazy to get out and move them back to the sidewalk.

The Bird isn’t the word.

I can almost guarantee some Deep Staters made big $ in Bird stock.

Oh no! I wonder who will do the warranty work on all the ones the city if Reno bought. Don’t count the ones in the Truckee river. 😳😁

I don’t always applaud business failure but in this case: CLAP CLAP CLAP!

Terrible business model, they slick-talked lost of cities into hosting their dangerous and unnecessary scooters that were never properly picked up, charged, or maintained as promised. Nothing but cheap thrills for kiddos who can con mom out of her credit card. Good riddance.

Re: "environmentally friendly"

Also, a deadly weapon, under the control of teenage boys, who silently approach and pass sidewalk pedestrians from behind, with inches to spare, at 20 mph.

A rip-off. It cost me $20 to ride across town to pick up my car from the repair shop. I had to use side streets and could only go 15 mph.

How much are they worth after the house burns down?

[Faith Presses On]

They’re also dangerous to riders. I know I was an ear witness to an accident in which a young man hit a street median and suffered bleeding on the brain.

If I recall correctly, at least one e-scooter company insured each ride for $1 million against lawsuits for accidents like that, which are quite common.
