If you’ve been to a major American city in the past year, you’ve noticed it: sidewalks strewn with discarded pay-per-use electric scooters. Riders seemingly drop them to the ground as soon as they’re done with them, no matter where they are. It’s kind of like a parade of visitors coming to your house and throwing their jackets on the floor wherever they please, multiplied many times over: It’s a mess, someone’s bound to trip and it feels chaotic.
It makes you wonder: Who’s riding these things anyway, and why are they so popular?
First of all, you’re not wrong about the ubiquity of e-scooters.
