I HATE THESE THINGS stupid corporate scam. There's nothing responsible about these things. People ride them til the battery goes dead and then dump them where they die, usually just step off, shitty people flop them to the ground blocking sidewalks etc. then rhe corp sends someone around in a gasoline pickup truck to gather them up to recharge and redeploy.
There were TWENTY of these on the 1.5 mile section of rhe river bike path this morning. I counted. Recovering these involves parking the truck at many dead end roads, walking out to them and hauling each to the truck. They're heavier'n'shit too. Abject exploitive junk.
