Yeah, I foresee cities picking a winner through a competitive process. What city wants 40 different scooter companies to deal with?

Sounds like a recipe to create the Comcast of electric scooters.

The right way to solve the problem of too many electric vehicles on the sidewalks is to charge owners rent.

Have painted parking spaces in appropriate areas and charge for access via audit of scooters in a given zone (city, state, etc).
