I began writing about electric scooters as an advocate of allowing them in New York City.
Soon, they will be legal. It will happen sometime this year.
I also saw electric scooters as being important for personal transportation. With Bird renting electric scooters in California (to begin with), many people will come to that conclusion through their own firsthand experience.
Given both of those things, I think my self-appointed job with electric scooters is at an end.
I saw the puck. I see where it is going.
It’s time to find the new puck and its trajectory.
It’s unsurprising that just when I’m ending this run, people are finally discovering all of my electric scooter posts. That’s how it works with me. Keep up!
After the break, all of the electric scooter posts.
