the scooter startups literally destroy scooters when they go under in a city instead of flooding the market with cheap scooters
@kate there used to be 20 now there are only 2. one of them has been just. laying in the grass for months the other one a guy took home with him and i guess just. pays for every ride out of his garage????
@callieroxy compeltely fucking insane lmao. theyve gotta be hackable
@kate @callieroxy I knew guys would strip them for parts. Apparently the battery packs are pretty useful
@kate @callieroxy don't know what the state of them is nowadays but they were trivially easy to steal a few years ago. As for destroying them, they only have a lifespan of about six months (again, as of a few years ago) because of build quality and abuse from customers, so probably not a big loss
@kate that's why it's ethical to steal as many as you can
@kate you know i wondered where they had all gone in my neighborhood lol
