That's nothing compared to their losses when cities start suing them for littering and causing accidents.
In some places the city has started gathering abandoned bikes for destruction. I wonder if you can buy these from the city and build something with the motor and the battery...
Last week I saw a lime scooter through the window of a Sherwin-Williams store around 10pm. They had an emergency team fixing it at 10:45pm. It won't take long before their use of "public" land will cause a huge legal issue.
