People elsewhere have gotten tired of those "self-service" scooters because of the conduct of the riders.
The Pittsburgh City Council should toss out every letter of support for e-scooters as being as valid as an NRA postcard.
Back in the 60s I built a scooter like that using motor and motorcycle battery from a PopTronis article. It could do about 6mph.
ReplyDeleteOh damn the pavement rash at 6mph still hurts like hell! Gave that
whole mess a pass for a Honda S90 and a brain bucket.
Eck!
IDK, it’s kinda nice to see old fashioned vote buying/influence tactics.
ReplyDeleteAmateurs. They should have cut out the middlemen. After all, they just need to bribe a few council members with some nice campaign contributions to get what they want.
ReplyDeleteThe scooters are a great idea with a flawed execution. The great idea is that we don't need to clog up central cities with seas of cars. The flawed execution... well, we've seen that, already.
