If you have ever heard anyone talking about Bird scooters, it probably hasn't been positive comments. A big problem is that users do not know how to use these scooters properly and Bird really doesn't care. They get paid when the scooter is rented. These scooters are dockless which is one of the major problems. Users leave them just about anywhere. These scooters litter many cities across the USA.

The old-fashioned way Portland is trying to regulate new electric scooters

Electric scooters hit the streets of Portland last month, the beginning of a 120-day pilot program that aims to monitor the impact of the new vehicles on the city. Since their debut, the city has logged more than 178,000 trips on the vehicles, as well as about 1,100 complaints from about 500 people, according to the PBOT.

City officials said the complaints are largely from people reporting riders for doing things like operating scooters without a helmet or riding on the sidewalks, both of which violate state law. Scooter companies such as Bird, Lime and Skip include safety instructions in their apps and on their scooters, but many riders choose to ignore them, according to critics and safety experts.

My elderliest son lives in Portland. He has a motorized electric skateboard. Goes pretty fast! Like 20 MPH.
