I have struggled to see the appeal in those electric scooters since their inception. A bicycle is superior in virtually any category: range, security, acceleration, deceleration, max speed, cargo, maintainability.
Also, operation of a bicycle does not need it to connect to a phone running an app. This is a guarantee that the device will be unusable within 5 years, when the app is abandoned, cannot be used with the iPhone 50, and Bluetooth 200.0 is incompatible with old devices, whereas I happily ride my 90's bicycle with minimal maintenance on a daily basis, while getting the additional benefit of a light exercise.

What does this mean? Is there a SIM card and an LTE subscription coming with the scooter? Or will I "know where my scooter is" while I am actually standing on it, with the phone in my pocket connected to the scooter via bluetooth?
