Yep, that's what Richmond needed. More scooters in the canal.

Always good to add to the biodoversity of the James.

Wonder how many they’ll dredge out of the mud when the Mayo bridge is rebuilt.

You cant tell me half of these companies arent money laundering

I told my partner when I saw them yesterday, at least they're hi-vis so fishing then out of the canal should be easier.

I’m so surprised these companies can keep going. Between (seemingly) low usage and high vandalism, amid any of them make money?

These companies aren't money laundering.

They get funding via rounds, business operates at a severe loss in hopes to become very popular so they can take the user numbers back to the next seed round.

Rinse and repeat until they can't get more funding and close.

This is just tech basically, go look at early UBER to see how far in the red they were for YEARS, just living off funding rounds.

It's probably the same company just rebranded lol

While this is probably true, its more fun to think its money laundering 🥳

I had the same thought when I saw them all around town lined up so nice

I think I could start my own scooter business. I’ll just yank all of the dead ones out of the canal, spray paint them orange, and call my company a 4 letter word. Boom - profit

First thought I had.

YAY MORE SIDEWALK CLUTTER!!!! 🥰🙏🏻🤗

i remember when bolt reached out to me directly for an actual investment. not surprised they’re gone.

These either cost so little that they’re making money off $1 per minute, or they taking the Uber route of never turning a profit and getting people hyped for “the next big thing” to keep their value high
