"We don’t ask GM, Ford, or Toyota to solve car parking"

A more apt comparison would be Avis, Hertz, etc but I think that would still be disingenuous. Car rental companies certainly penalize you for abandoning a rental car whereas these scooter/bike rental companies just let you dump them wherever.

The comparison to rentals is dumb imo. I own my own electric scooter. Many people do. This problem has to do with scooter ownership in general, regardless of the owner.

Really you just leave yours anywhere even though you own it?

it's heavy enough that most people dont steal it. i leave my motorcycle sitting out too. Sometimes I lock it up though.

"most people." lol.
