I totally agree that they're a hazard, both whilst being ridden (by morons) and when left in piles on the street.
However, as a crude and unrefined solution to "The Last Mile" problem, I think they're fucking great. Having fleets of these at train stations, bus stops, metros etc. allows people to effortlessly (and cheaply) get to their exact destination whilst still utilising public transport. Cities definitely need to do better at regulating the companies that own them to ensure that they don't litter the pavements and trip up blind people. I also think that people will get bored of vandalising them after they've become a bit more normal.

This. As someone who lives in a city with shit tier transit this was great until they were outlawed. I used to ride them off-street on a paved woods trail to get to work once in a while just for fun. Also rented them while drunk and rode through the rain to different bars.

It's not a fad at all. These things are amazing transportation devices. Like >>1592572 said they are great last mile solutions and you only have to use one a few times to realize the potential. I don't know if the future is going to be with these companies or not but some sort of accommodation for electric scooters is a no-brainer.

Back in 2018, I rode one from downtown san jose to the san jose airport on the bike trail. It cost me about $7 which is half the price of an Uber and I didn't have to deal with traffic or anything. It was so much more pleasant to just take the scooter

Nah, fuck rental m8.
I'll buy my own which wont have dangerous speed limiter and steering limiter, so I can go fast and crash safe. And 1kW controller, oil in the wheel motor to help with heat transfer, PTFE thin insulation wires for more chooch, temperature probe, high discharge batteries, and most importantly LED that is brighter than high beam of illegally installed HIDs, so virgin bus drivers, car drivers, cyclers and other scooter drivers that don't use auto tinting welding helmet get blinded.

Oh. Also fluffy cubes on handbars. Important.

I also tried these in austin, it was nice but I didn't like that they were allowed on footpaths even when throttled down. Cool novelty though, and it's a shame that these will probably get more infrastructure support from cities than bikes due to their silicon valley startup money.

I have accounts for both. I use them maybe 3 - 4 times a year and like them. If I want to go a dozen blocks one way, without returning the vehicle, they're by far the best solution. Don't quite see how it's economical but that's their problem. As long as they're cool with the City it's cool with me.
