John Stossel: War on Electric Scooters

[VIDEO] Over the summer scooter sharing  has been rolled out through the city. To be honest I haven't seen them as much as I've seen these dockless bicycles other than those Divvy bikes that are prevalent around the city.

Regardless it seems other cities around the nation have had their own reservations about them. John Stossel argues whether or not these other cities such as DC or San Francisco are only serving to stifle new transportation options for their residents. Making them wait years and forcing them to get permits in order to provide for example dockless electric scooters.

Have you used one of the scooters in Chicago? Are they convenient? Are they better than any bicycle rental that is far more common around the city?
