Ah, but then the same applies for rented bikes too? Plenty of cities have those, nothing actually specific to e-scooters.
1) Need to take it with you on the train/bus/car
2) Need to lock it to something secure when you leave it (especially e-bikes/scooters which are expensive)
3) Need to pick it up from the same place you left it last time.
4) Need to buy it (€1000+) and maintain it, and charge it
5) Need to store it somewhere secure when not in use
6) The parking scales really poorly: if 10 people can use a hire-bike in a day, but 1 person can use a private one, this would mean the private bikes would take 10x the amount of parking per user.
