Dockless scooters get laissez-faire treatment in San Diego as other California cities regulate emerging industry - The San Diego Union-Tribune


~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personal injury attorneys all over Southern California have even begun marketing on their websites directly to people injured while riding the scooters, which can travel up to 15 miles an hour.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I just talked with the lifeguard chief,” Zapf said on Wednesday. “They were telling me about broken wrists and ankles and other injuries.

“People are not stopping when they’re being pulled over,” she added, “and the police cannot have a full-on police chase down the boardwalk. When they’re getting flagged down, they just zoom away.”

Did the life guards and PD forget they have radios? There is a life guard or cop about every 200 yards. Just radio ahead and use something as road block.

Because they don't have to be docked, they can be just left anywhere. Which is why everyone is complaining, because they're just "dumped" anywhere and any place.

The transients love love love them. Tweakers figured out they can take off the back brake and off they go. That is where the actuator is so from there it's free bikes for all my friends. There are mangled dockless bikes all over and they aren't being picked up ever.

I was downtown this past weekend and saw tons of people on scooters, both Bird and Limebike. At one time, I counted about 8 of us scooter riders on the corner along Harbor Drive. It's really cool. i guess the dockless bikes have met their match. I've even seen Birds in Clairemont!

Haha

It has been my experience that the Lime-S will hit 17mph while the Bird pretty much tops out at 15mph.

Haven’t tried the Razor yet.
