I'm a big fan of micromobility but I see scooters and the eletrics being better to own than to rent. They're much smaller than a bike, and can be carried on a bus to handle the last 1-5 miles between a bus stop and the destination in urban areas.
To paraphrase Eazy-E, "throw it in the gutter and go buy another" is the best route. Walk down the street and pick one of the dozens of scooters on the sidewalk.
At best the rental micromobility economy is transient until all the people who find electric scooters genuinely useful buy their own. It often ends up costing as much as an Uber to get anywhere anyway
