I have seen these all over the place in the downtown, zoo area.

Just saw the park police pick up four parked in the zoo parking lot. The tow company truck they are using had about 8 more already on it.

I always wondered how they could leave these on sidewalks.

Apparently, it was just the park police with a bug up their ass as there were still scooters on Mulberry.

Been a hot topic as of late. City passed a pilot program. Some basic rules:
"When they're parked, scooters can't block sidewalks, bus stops or disabled parking zones, impede reasonable pedestrian access to a sidewalk or be too close to building entrances."

We have them all over our neighborhood and I just wonder how these things make money with more and more entries to the market.

Gonna end up like the bikes in Dallas. Trashed and thrown about everywhere.

Folks in my hood are up in arms about them; folks in my neighborhood apparently have nothing else to worry about in their lives.

I see them all over my area too, but I have no problem with this as they aren't in my way. If people are using them, great. I see a decent amount of UTSA kids ride them from student apartment to campus and back. If I were riding one often enough, I'd probably just buy one to save money.

Not sure why so many folks have a problem with them.

Drunk tourists on scooters.

Between October and November, paramedics responded to 46 separate 9-1-1 calls, according to Woody Woodward with SAFD. In the last 11 months, scooter injuries landed a dozen people in at the University Hospital trauma center, according to Elizabeth Allen with UT Health.

Wonder how many are in the river?

Austin has had a few incidents of dwi on scooter. As much as some complain, all the general surveys show people love them so dont think they are going away.

I really don't have a problem with them, other than the headlights on some of them are very dim, but can you imagine Fiesta and all the scooters?

It's going to be a bloodbath.

Saw a woman wipeout at Durango/Flores the other day.

I refuse to call Durango by its "new" name.

The idiots that drive opposite traffic on Market and Commerce crack me up, waiting for that mess to happen.

Also, gotta love the idiots that drive them up to the top levels of the Parking Garages downtown.

I live on the far north side and saw a lonely, abandoned scooter on a side street off Blanco north of 1604.

I road one a couple of weeks ago. They are pretty fun, but it looks trashy having them laying all over the place.

Just got back from downtown Nashville and they are all over the place. Good fun, better than walking. However, I wouldn't even entertain the thought of getting on one drunk.

That's about the only time I would ride one
