Has an e-bike company worked out its problems and is flourishing somewhere? Maybe Citibike in NYC, is that still a thing? Between these and e-scooters, all I see is repeated failure which makes me think something is fucky with subsidies or some other economic perversion.
- But these problems aren't Lime Bike problems. They're public disorder problems and should be tackled as such.
  
  Problem is: For these companies, the numbers of customer growth are far more important to their shareholders than anything else. So they won’t kick misbehaving customers and have no interest in identifying them in the first place.
