    Oof. Yeah that wouldn’t fly here. Pretty sure they can only deploy them at spots decided by the city.

    I think all the models here now have field-swappable batteries, so they only get taken in for maintenance. Still I’ve only ever seen recently deployed neat lines of them in designated scooter parking areas.
