Louisville, Kentucky data indicates scooters last about 1 month.<p>Average 3 rides per day, so scooter is idle 90% of time.<p>Recharging is a massive 40% of ride cost. Credit card another 10%.<p>So it is currently a huge, lasting money pit. But it can improve operating metrics, and become massively profitable.<p>Enter VC with preferred share clauses..
