I’m thinking the operator have had to tighten up the sensitivity near the exclusion zones.
Will have to suss out a different route back to the office.
Or alternatively, don't go back. [biggrin]Quote:

I spotted two abandoned on Milton Rd the other evening opposite were the tennis courts are just laying on the foot path, I could not see anyone around. The nearest person was in the play ground & that is set back well off the road & at least one house block from were they were laying. [bighmmm]
Yeah sure there are undesirable around and given the system puts 100% faith in the public its going the be smooth sailing. Suppose they are punting on hire income is more than damage sustained. I’m assuming if the GPS system is still functioning than a juicer will collect it.Quote:

Wish other Cities had the balls to allow these. Melbourne is so risk averse they wouldn’t even consider them. Hopefully over time the early adopters can show it can work and others will catch on.
Keep us updated on your rides Weeds, I like reading about them. 👍
There are reports of some really bad accidents on the scooters.....
I’m pretty careful and to date no close calls.
It was a giggle watching two girls dinking each other on the one scooter...a guy walks out of a shop diagonally across the front on them wearing a big set of headphone, how the girls managed to avoid him avoid him I have no idea...guy didn’t even realise...he than stepped onto the road and got beeped by a car for j walking.
Quite a site.
Saw a couple ridthem in Malvern a few weeks ago. Yeah we are all expected to cover up in bubble wrap and a myriad of other helmets and pads , but these two had no helmets and the cops drove by without giving them a look. Guess if this is legal in other countries .....Quote:
