Some rental electric #scooters seen in downtown #Ottawa today.
These actually seem to be slowly going out of fashion over the last few summers. A couple of years back we had four companies renting these out and now we have only two and far fewer scooter numbers They are very expensive to rent and data shows that people who do use them rent them to replace walking, not car trips, with very short average trip distances. While there are some people who own their own electric scooters and use them to commute, I suspect the rental ones will soon be a thing of the past.
