The birds in my area are falling apart so I'm not shocked to hear the company is doing poorly. I'll be sad if renting scooters is no longer an option.

If I was designing a city, I'd ban cars except for a few prominent roads and make rentable electric vehicles the norm. You'd gain a ton of real estate by not needing parking spaces/garages. Plus cars are a slow way to get around cities due to traffic and lights/stop signs every block.
