So Jow Forums I woke up to one of these in my driveway this morning. It's this ride share scooter thing...

I have an m365. Go to work and back, 10 miles on it every day. It will go 15mph and i can store it under my desk. Look like a total fool riding it, but its the best way to travel.

They have them all around the LA area, you use an app to rent the electric scooter and they charge you for every minute. It's alright if you are in a rush, but these fuckin things are EVERYWHERE.

The scooter companies really need to fix this. Blocking sidewalks is illegal everywhere, apparently unless you call it 'sharing'.

Strip it, sell parts on ebay

this

can't Jow Forums ally with Jow Forums to whip up a guide to "re-purposing" these things?

kekk

Lime showed up here for 6 days and then got the fuck out

Scooters are stupid anyway.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it wasn't in my fucking driveway. I don't live near a busy road or anything so it's extra annoying that one made it's way into my neighborhood. I wouldn't have such a problem if you had to park them in designated spots, like cars, instead of leaving them on the sidewalk in front of people's homes or businesses.

presumably the cars aren’t on his lawn dumbfuck

you whiney little bitch put it on the fucking sidewalk
you know god damn well that if shit like this was around when WE were kids, you'd have used them every fucking day and loved it.

There's even a whole instagram account dedicated to destroying them called birdgraveyard where people just wreck em and toss them off buildings or into the ocean.

Stop being such a little bitch, OP

They're fun to cruise around on. If you weren't such a fat loner sperglord you could find a buddy or a cute girl and cruise the city on a scooter.

Sadly you are fat and would break the scooter.

tbqh fambly, it's probably your wife's son's scooter

>wahhhh I'm fat and lazy and salty over a scooter
lmao get fucked

It's not the fault of the scooter nor the rental company that some dipshit left it on your property.
Do you think it's anyone's policy that they just be dumped wherever, even if that be on someone else's property?
It's fine to be annoyed by something that's not right and that's annoying, but direct your annoyance at the proper targets dude.

...

They are big in Kansas City. All over the place. You can use them to go bar hopping.

>find a buddy

Going nut to butt is pretty gay on a Harley or crotch rocket. Doing it on a scooter is advanced gay.

Take the battery it's worth like 500 bucks if it's anygood

I had my own scooter. I kept it in my garage. Not on my neighbors driveway. And I did move it to the sidewalk. The point is it shouldn't be left in front of my house.

We have scooters, bikes, electric bikes all over my city.

Fucking blocking sidewalks, idiot tourists blocking traffic, high school kids driving around like maniacs, and homeless people breaking the locks and turning them into hobo bikes

They are fucking annoying

Have the scooter towed at the owners expense

rig it with a bomb

It's a socialist idea and it's garbage. I can't fault the idiots who left it there. They're idiots. They don't know better. I blame the company for enabling and allowing such retardation to occur.

ULTIMATTTEEE

>socialist garbage
KEK. It's not run by the government, it's run by companies looking to make profit. It's called capitalism, not socialism.

They are better then the bikes in that people actually use them. That being said they leave then blocking the fucking side walks here in San diego.

If you put something on the curb, it's a clear signal they're giving it away. Someone with a big van went around and collected all of them. I don't think it's even illegal to take them.

>what happens when the battery is empty?
they leave em. sometime later an employee comesby in a truck and picks em up. i see them everywhere.

>OP has no clue what socialism means.

Are you so pathetic that you cant just remove it yourself? I swear city people are the weakest, most dependent children on Earth.

How is the idea of not owning your own scooter but renting it from someone else not a socialist idea?

I dont know about that. I'm pretty certain they get guberment moneys, ITS GREEN.

Theyre in my city too.

OP just throw the piece of shit in the street or throw it no shit in a dumpster.

You can get paid to charge them. It pays pretty well too.
">Who knows"?
Typical /Pol brainlet

Why not just keep it? It was left on your property.

If a private company wants someone to work for them they should pay the person who does the work

>Socialist
>Capitalist transportation service
Pick one you fucking moron

The bike ones are the worst especially the electric ones cause they’re heavy. If you try and move the fucking things while they’re locked an alarm goes off saying the police will be called. Some fucker left one in the back of my church parking lot and it had the brakes constantly engaged while I pushed it to the sidewalk so it was hard to do and the dumb alarm kept going off.

socialism: A political theory advocating state ownership of industry.
capitalism: An economic system based on private ownership of capital.

These scooters are owned by private companies, friend. You can't be more unsocialist than that.

>It's not the fault of the scooter nor the rental company that some dipshit left it on your property.
Educating the customer on expected behavior of a new platform is absolutely the company's responsibility. This doesn't matter if it's a rideshare scooter, firearm or your mom's dildo with inflatable knot. Helping consumers safely use product starts with who makes that product.

>I won't hold the people responsible responsible
Jesus.

No. Local governments hate these scooters, that's why they keep banning them.

>cruise the city on a scooter
This is literally gayer then 2 men having sex.

This, you rent the bike.

Fucking murriclaps, I swear

If someone abandons someone else's property on your land, it would seem you can just take possession of it.

Or at least report it to the cops or something. It sounds like dumping.

How exactly am I supposed to find the retard who left it? It could've been literally anyone.

You think they don't have a use policy?
People do stupid shit with rental cars constantly - do you BLAME THE RENTAL COMPANY? No; they can only do so much. Do you want to BAN car rentals? No because that's fucking moronic.

>omg when gov provides a service it is sossaleezm and that's BAD
>pls come provide service

>Get schematics on scooters
>chop it up
>remove GPS device
>free scooter

Bad things happen and a lot of the time you have to mark it off and leave it behind you BECAUSE you can't (and no one can) do shit about what's already done. A scooter on your property is annoying but you're bitching at the wrong person - it'd be like wanting rental cars banned because some idiot wrecked one on your lawn.

>What are your guys thoughts
You sound incredibly old

If someone leaves one in my yard I am keepiing it.

Random rental cars aren't parked on my lawn. People, like you, think it's not that big of a deal because it's a scooter. That isn't the point. The point is dockless bikes/scooters are gay as fuck

>No; they can only do so much
Yes, to an extent. This is why some rental cars have governors in them. Managing your customer base is part of running this kind of business.
Here's a transportation product that is silent, runs 18mph on any urban surface and is piloted by someone busy on their phone. Across sidewalks, roads, alleys, etc without a care in the world. At the end of the ride, the customer leaves it in a growing pile of rentascooters that blocks a public way. Yes, that's the company's problem as it's horrible publicity.

>Random rental cars aren't parked on my lawn
If one were you wouldn't be bitching about rental cars and rental car companies.
You have a double standard that's not rational, based on the fact that rental cars are old and rental scooters are new.

its fucking stupid.. San Diego and Santa Monica are doing this shit and it is the most annoying thing ever. nothing like driving down the street looking at the faggot scooters littered everywhere. not to mention having to deal with the insufferable cunts that use them. riding your ass in the bike lane, passing on the right side.. etc etc. NO HELMETS. lmao fuck this shit.

Pretty sure I know which town you live in. (Townname)411 app for your phone and hit them up with every violation.

You can't manage your customers - at best you can choose them, and usually you're not even allowed to do that (by the government).

So you think renting a car is socialist? What about renting a home? All these millions of American renters are socialists? The reason you rent the scooter instead of owning it is so you don't have to carry your scooter around everywhere you go. Instead, just grab a scooter nearby and use it.

Nice try, JIDF. FUCK OFF BACK TO JEW YORK.

>You can't manage your customers
You have no idea what you're writing about. Of course you can manage and behavior modify your customers. This is basic marketing.

>Of course you can manage and behavior modify your customers
I go to snowboard.
I rent a snowboard and am on the mountain for the whole day.
Tell me how they "manage" my use of the snowboard.

Like three of these companies popped up in my city overnight. They are kind've annoying, but a good idea. Less strain on pub transpo/traffic network/environment. Everyone's complaining that riders never wear helmets like that's supposed to prevent accidents.

Imagine giving this much of a fuck about what other people do. Typical right wing sjw

Parking your shit on someone's private property is a direct violation of the NAP.

Those scooters may be gay, but you're a fucking faggot.

I love you Jow Forums, please don't ever change

Lift access, possibly an insurance policy that dictates which trails or parts of the mountain you can use.

If it’s in your driveway throw it the fuck in the street. Period.

The faggit commies that ride them have to agree to the TOS that says they’ll wear a helmet. Never seen even a single rider with a helmet.

I spend $350 for an electic skateboard, goes 23mph and I get 11 miles per charge

fuck share services and fuck socialism!

Problem is that's either littering or impairing the flow of traffic in most places.

They're open lifts.
There's no insurance policy.
The market of people they deal with are turned off by dealing with that shit when they just want to board or ski for the day, and they just post when you're supposed to be off the mountain by.

The trails are marked and they tell you which slopes you're supposed to use, but that's not a control on anyone. If I'm on the mountain and go off trail, it's not their responsibility.
Similarly, the scooter rentals have a policy about where scooters are and are not to be left. And - similarly - it is not the company's responsibility if people fail to follow their rules.

Register as a tow company and charge the scooter company impound fees to get the scooters back

I wish they would get rid of those stupid "Lime Bikes" - they started putting them near bus stops and BART stations about a year ago, and now they are being left everywhere.

you're going to give yourself a fucking heart getting this upset over a scooter. just move it. these shits are everywhere in my city and people use them all the time, they're not going anywhere so I'd get with the times if I were you.

Then the city needs to be on it and fine the riders. I don't care the mechanism but want the current situation modified just like OP.

hi op. NYCfag here. it's not scooters, but e-bikes that are the problem here currently. originally, it was only Citibike what had these rental bikes but they all had docks.

here comes a new challenger

two companies, lime and jumpbike (uber) have started dumping these dockless monstrosities all over the place. here's the problem: you can activate them with EBT. yes you read that right, you can literally use food stamps to unlock and operate these bikes. so what do you think has happened already?

you guessed it. niggers. since niggers are pieces of shit and are completely territorial, all of the bikes have been hoarded and kept in the ghettos and projects. regular people who might actually need to use one of these bikes because they missed a bus or a train to get somewhere are completely shut out of using them. these niggers joyride on the bikes all day, cluttering up the road in packs like wild dogs, and are a general nuisance.

it's also no surprise that gangs are part of it, as the bloods prefer the red uber bikes. so anytime you see a swarm of jumpbikes, you can be almost certain it's a pack of bloods who are out using these bikes as a cheap drug trafficking vehicle alternative.

scooters have been banned here as far as i know. but all this dockless rideshare bike/scooter bullshit is a terrible idea and needs to stop.

You might have just figured it out. Not towing, necessarily, but incentivize people to move the scooters.

i had a yz125 when I was a kid. fuck scooters.

that's been part of their plan. they deploy a fleet of these things without any city ordinace or permit to back them up, and they do so in the hopes that it takes the city far too long to come up with any kind of formal legislation to ban them. all these companies are legit flying under the radar and waiting for inevitable legislation and regulation.
