Honestly the fact that they all become trash is why scooters annoy me. Like sure fine on a long enough time scale pretty much everything becomes trash but man they are not built to last.

Are they not built to last, or are they just abused and neglected? I suspect that personally-owned scooters tend to be kept somewhere safe and taken care of. VC-owned rental scooters tend to get trashed, because no one suffers a personal loss if a particular scooter becomes trash.
