I don’t think it’s corporate dick-sucking to say that if you use an e-scooter share, it’s not dystopian that the company administering them tries to track if you’re using them in a negligent way that causes unnecessary wear. It’s not yours.
The fact these corporations are running this kind of thing is itself problematic, but I also wouldn’t object if a government-administrated e-scooter share tried to detect poor behavior on a piece of equipment you don’t own.
I would be more accepting of escooter rentals if it wasn’t the only legal option to use an escooter in the UK. It’s fucking bullshit that they are essentially given a monopoly on renting a method of transport.

The things they listed are not negligent, and not even about wearing tear, bet you it’s about insurance. Liability insurance for personal injury.
Burnouts aren’t negligent and wear-causing? Do I need to stand behind one long enough before I can understand this logic?
Burnouts or spinning wheels it said. The automated nanny on the spy scooters is not a very good source apparently.
