Electric scooters aren’t quite as climate-friendly as we thought - The Verge

Electric scooter companies like to tout their green credentials, frequently reminding riders that every two-wheeled trip they take can help reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change — but the truth is much more complicated.

These things are a disgusting blight. They litter the city streets and are yet another example of companies making huge profits by exploiting the idea of environmentalism. not actually engaging in it. Isn't it obvious that people would be using them to replace walking and not driving? ADULTS, the real kind, the kind who own grownup vehicles, aren't going to take these things somewhere where you can take a car. As usual, they don't even acknowledge how unsafe these things are for the riders and pedestrians, because the riders almost never ride them in the street-where they'd probably be flattened by a car anyway.

"Their findings — which are backed up by other surveys of scooter riders — were that 49 percent of riders would have biked or walked, 34 percent would have used a car, 11 percent would have taken a bus, and 7 percent wouldn’t have taken the trip at all. "
