European cities are overrun by electric scooters. It's not a big step. heh


Usually provided by American companies supported by venture capital.

As a resident of a very walkable European city I can assure you that most of us didn't ask for those pests.


As a resident of another very walkable European city, I love the ease and affordability of e-scooters. They haven’t replaced walking for me, they’ve replaced the longer trips where I might take a bus, train or taxi. They’re cheaper, more convenient and especially during the pandemic have meant fresh air and the joy of being outside.


Actually, it seems that European companies have the larger market share in Europe, with Tier (Germany) as #1, Voi (Sweden) as #2, and Bolt (Estonia) as #5.

And bought by Europeans with European money. What's your point, beyond nationalist bickering?
