This is a "startup" made by Bosch and BCG Ventures. The scooters are everywhere in Berlin and quite popular. But the official press note (in German) states they basically ran out of cash and can not see a way to make it profitable.

Also shuts down in Paris and Madrid.

The bigger scooters where quite nice and I would have preferred them to stay instead of the smaller ones that are blocking sidewalks. But maybe they will shut down too eventually... seems this sharing economy is really hard to make profitable.
