They’re in every town and city of significance. They’re illegal to own here you are only allowed to rent them.
Ryan Taylor
Lmao imagine being a man and riding that ridiculous cuck scooter. I’d rather just walk.
Adrian Price
idk they just appeared and kept appearing even if nobody was using them, doesn't seem like a great business
Brandon Ward
No they are just the newest way for tech bros to set venture capital money on fire.

>you vill own nothing and you vill be happy

One of the most successful businesses ever started here. It went from 100 scooters to over 11 000 in less than 3 years.
I hate them with a passion.
Thomas Robinson

A icelander tried to set them up. Each time he has gotten allowed by municipality but police take them in the next day for breaking traffic laws. Happened twice now. Hilarious seething rants from him about local government supporting him, only to get fucked and have to pay fines. Hope third time comes soon.

Yes, they are a plague. We should throw them into the river, short circuit their batteries and burn them.

We're way ahead of you here in Stockholm. Divers collect thousands of them from the waters every year kek.
The divers are making serious bank from it.

Are they actually making money?
Do they have working unit economics or are they just losing money on every new scooter?

Yea but why are they illegal to own in UK
Ryder Myers
You can legally own them you just cannot legally use them on public roads or pathways as you cannot insure them. There is no rush to change or update the a quite old law meaning they cannot be insured as they are happy collecting that premium rental money.
Julian Walker
They are everywhere i fucking hate these things cause kids and retards always go 300 km/h without even looking left or right just take a damn bike

Why you need further explanation?

Have the same feeling but haven't looked at the numbers
You should be able to make it profitable but not a great business

The scooters are bought from China in massive containers. They pay between €70-100 per scooter depending on the model. Sometimes even cheaper if they buy larger numbers of them.
And using them ain't cheap. Here in Sweden it's €1 to unlock it and then €0.5 every minute of use. The average customer uses the scooter for 10-12 minutes. And they have literally tens of thousands of customers every single day, 24/7.
They make a pretty big profit.
I know this shit because I work for the tax office here and have dealt with one of the newer starter-ups that came here back in 2018. They are now a huge company.

Carter Moore
