Initially the price to use those scooters was like $0.50/min which was great when you had to go several blocks. Then Razor hit the market and beat the everliving hell out of all of those shitty Bird and Lime and Blue Duck scooters in terms of torque - you could actually just hit the throttle to move. Great! Then the price wars started. Except they didn't go down. Every single scooter platform went up in price.

The last time I used one, it cost me more than $3/min. I was stunned. It would've cost me less to take an uber (and I could've brought multiple people with me for no additional cost!). No wonder these are going out of business. They have priced themselves out of the market.

At least I think Razor is going to stick around because they're vertically integrated.
