Uber is destroying thousands of electric bikes and scooters following Jump sale
As much as I would love a cheap e-bike to tinker with and restore (even if it's old), I can't say I'm surprised these are being recycled.<p>On one hand, how would it benefit their/Lime's business to have loads of people owning electric scooters and bikes?  On the other hand, there really are logistical and liability issues involved with distributing old gear in varying states of repair.<p>It's a shame they don't do something like gov/edu institutions and auction off the stuff as-is.  At least then someone could theoretically buy it up to do something with it.
