    Apparently if they are left on private property, you can get a towie to come and pick it up. One company has a growing collection of Lime scooters because they won't pay the $200 fee.

    Maybe that's a clue as to how much Lime pay for them.

    Collect 20 of them. Offer them back for $500. Job done.

    Interesting, but possibly apocryphal - and potentially expensive.

    Its an opportunity for the DHB to get with the times and have an app for A and E so they can allocate costs back to scooter providers who appear to be able to offer a service with all care and no responsibility.
    Perhaps Scooter apps could be linked to ACC so you pay a 'levy' per ride.
    Be less than the the price of an Avocado with a bit of toast per week.
    No need for complicated registration plates and so on.
