Always there when you want to go somewhere and you know what condition they are in.

But tgen by the rules of this forum by renting you would be bike and scooter free and get an additional badge for your lapel? lol.
Scooters are a lot more portable than bikes. If you use your own bike for a trip you have to commit to using it for the whole trip or locking it somewhere and returning to it. WIth docked or dockless bikes you use them for any part of the trip that suits you and then forget about them. Youmight walk to the bus stop, go downtown, and then decide to bike home, or the other way around. Or you might drive downtown and circle for 20 minutes before you can park in front of a store, then discover they don't have what you want but they tell you another store half a mile away might have it. It would be a huge pain to drive there and search for another parking spot, but you didn't think to bring your Devinci, so you hop on a share bike, go get what you came for and return to your car to drive home.
