    I love being able to report badly parked scooters. In my city it’s unfortunate that it’s the scooter companies that park them badly like putting them in the bike rack outside a bike shop

      Oof. Yeah that wouldn’t fly here. Pretty sure they can only deploy them at spots decided by the city.

      I think all the models here now have field-swappable batteries, so they only get taken in for maintenance. Still I’ve only ever seen recently deployed neat lines of them in designated scooter parking areas.
