That’s like biking from Denver to Durango ten times.
So making a couple of assumptions here.
Assuming this was all Lime and that the cost per minute is 25¢ per min to just make the calculation easier…
Riding 4000 miles is about 15 miles a day. At an average speed of about 15 mph, it would take you about an hour.
Cost Breakdown • Unlocking fee: $1.00 • Per-minute rate: $0.25 • Ride cost: $0.25 * 60 minutes = $15
Total Cost Unlocking fee + Ride duration cost = $1.00 + $15.00 = $16.00/day
At 365 days that’s $5840. He could have bought like 10 scooters or maybe like 3 really good ones. Of course he would have to store them, charge them, do maintenance, etc. I mean yeah it’s expensive but this is cheaper than a car and much less hassle than owning either a car or a scooter. I guess that’s their business model.
He could have saved a lot of money by buying an e-scooter.
Yes I think it’s about time for him to invest in one
Kinda seems like he’s making a point of doing it on rental scooters, but yeah, he could’ve bought a decent scooter by now.
