A class-action lawsuit over the safety of electric scooters has been filed against scooter startups Bird and Lime, a Santa Monica firm announced Monday.
The court filing was submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday on behalf of individuals claiming to have been harmed by the scooters. It's the first class-action lawsuit filed against the two major scooter-sharing companies, according to Costell & Cornelius Law Corporation.
The lawsuit, which also lists manufacturers Segway and Xiaomi as defendants, names nine plaintiffs. They include three people who claimed being injured by riders who crashed into them from behind and three others who said they tripped over scooters that had been left on the sidewalk.

I want to beat the crap out of assholes that ride electric scooters. Is that leading to civil unrest? (I don't actually, but it sounds good.)
I don't understand the electric scooter concept. Is it a socialist experiment? I saw them parked along the sidewalk in Stateline, CA. Apparently you can ride one on the sidewalk to your destination in town free and park it at a designated area where others can use them.
