Rentable Scooters
Veo will deploy 350 rentable electric scooters throughout Carbondale later this year. There will be a demonstration of the standing and seated scooters from 10 to noon at the city hall this Friday. Cost to unlock a scooter will be $1 and 31 cents per minute. Users will have to have access to a smart phone though in order to use the service as unlocking a scooter requires scanning a QR code on the state. Cool idea. However similar systmes have gone awrye as users just left the scooters lying on the sidewalk or in some cases putting them in inaccessible places. I gue the requirement of taking a picture of the scooter at the end of its use is designed to avoid that problem
