I would love to see it in more cities/countries, because I use it very often. I don’t have the money to buy one for myself so the best that happend was that the city decided a few years ago to make stations where you can rent these bikes for a short shopping trip or to some nice place. They aren’t even really expensive too.
Going by the repeated scooter fiascoes I’ve seen in downtown Dallas, I think these are trouble waiting to happen in any US city. We’re just not ready for anything nice that is also communal.
