Reviewing a Broken San Francisco Lime Scooter

But that doesn't mean all these scooter startups won't be a transformative event in transportation. In fact, Bird (a Lime competitor) has become the quickest startup ever to reach a billion dollar valuation.
So... the scooters felt a bit brittle and their ride rattled our teeth.
Also, we were frustrated to walk around the city for an hour trying to locate scooters on the map that we could never find (we suspect people are bringing them indoors and preventing others from renting them).
With that said, they're price competitive with buses and they're super energy efficient. Though we didn't Fall in Love with Lime's first attempt, I'm excited to see how the 2018 scooter wars play out.

Great job! I gave up on my scooter video because it took so long to find one. Liked and subbed.

Thanks man. Still trying to get out vids. Need a Potato Jet video on shooting and editing in 48 hours

[@shaunwilkens]

Super informative and helpful. Thanks for the video!

I know we don't make this clear in the video, but the reason it took more than an hour to find one was because there were a ton of scooters on the app, but when we walked to where they were supposed to be they weren't there. We think that is because people are leaving them inside their house so other people can't rent them. Ugh.

Andrew Ford I hate when people do that. Defeats the purpose. It’s stealing.

I think the last time I rode a scooter was a Razor scooter and I was 12. I stopped after getting the front wheel stuck in a crack on the sidewalk and flipping forward and landing on my hands.

[@batterybikes]

Yah they are little death traps. I think these rentals are better but I still wouldn't mind bigger wheels. I broke my wrist on a Razor when I was in maybe 7th grade? The new ones with 50% bigger wheels seem 1000% safer

[@PetePuebla]

You have to take care when riding them.

R.I.P Lime! no longer allowed in S.F This is SPIN Country now!...

[@batterybikes]

Yeah it's weird how that played out. I'm fine with Skip and Scoot, but seems weird to block out everyone else. A bit of a lesson to future companies I suppose

[@Ricy013]

Not the scooters fault that homeless poop on them. Homeless would poop on their mothers if she stood still long enough.
